Moving Element Tasks

[Cryolitte]

Suppose someone adds some Element Tasks to, say, a package. How does one move this task to another package? Is this possible at all? (Note: I'm talking about the tasks in the Maintenance window)

Copy paste, drag n drop don't seem to work. Does this mean the only hope is to be using Corporate Edition, export all the data to SQL Server Database, then manipulate them that way???

You can likely do it with .EAP and using MSQRY32 via ODBC and Access driver. But   you likely have to fiddle around with the database.

Just a note: once I decided to use single model elements to track tasks instead of these model tasks/issues lists. That is, I created a profile to let me define Issues, Bugs, Tasks a.s.o. that I could manage in the browser. The disadvantage to have associations only after explicit creation is small compared to the advantage of having "real" elements that can be placed on diagrams and moved around (e.g. from package Open Issues to package Closes Issues). I also wrote some scripts to assist me in manipulating these elements.
