How to move tasks between boards in Vaiz


Move a task to another board when the work belongs in a different workflow or project area. You can start the move from the board or from inside the task.

Step 1. Open the board

Select the required space, open the project, and choose the board that contains the task you want to move.

Step 2. Move a task from the board

Hover over the task and click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the task card.

Select Move to board, choose the destination board, and then select the group where the task should appear.

Note: Moving a task to a different board can clear some fields if they don't exist on the target board. After the move, open the task and complete any missing fields.

Step 3. Change the board from the Location field

You can also move a task from its details panel. Open the task and find the Location field.

The current board appears in the middle of the location path. Click its name and select another board from the list. The task moves automatically.

Step 5. Check tasks with subtasks

When a parent task has subtasks, moving it to another board does not move the subtasks with it.

The subtasks are detached from the parent and remain on the original board as standalone tasks.

Moving the parent task back to its original board does not restore the previous relationship. The detached items remain independent tasks and must be linked again manually if needed.
