Custom item types should be movable
Custom item types (CIT for short) are a critical feature of Wrike and unlock many great capabilities. Unfortunately they are not movable. If someone creates a CIT at the global level, or in some space, and you decide later to reorganize the structure of your work, you have no choice but to a) recreate the custom item type in the new location and b) reassign all the existing uses to the new type. This is a very painful process.
Contrast this with the ease of moving folders and projects from one space to another: effortless! You cross-link to the new space and remove the original location. Done! But CIT's from the original location cannot be migrated and you are forced to do the painful two-step process above. This can take some considerable time.
Ironically Custom Fields can be moved very easily between spaces, or moved from global to a space, so the idea here is already sensible, but not available for CIT. Please fix this!

My team is using Custom item types more and more as we grow, being able to copy/move custom item types to other spaces would be a great feature!
Thanks for sharing this with us, Aaron Pratt! I totally see how this could be valuable, especially for what you've mentioned! 😊
