🔥 Converting Tasks to Projects and Vice Versa 🔥

Hello everyone! 👋

So many of you have been waiting for this 🥁🥁🥁 

We're beyond thrilled to announce that the ability to convert tasks to projects and vice versa is now available to customers starting from Business Plus plan and higher! 🔥 This feature is the most upvoted Community idea ever, with over 600 votes, and we're so excited to deliver it to you! 

This feature was born from your feedback and insights, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who shared their use cases, feedback, and participated in the beta testing. Your input was instrumental in shaping this feature 💚

Converting Tasks to Projects & Vice Versa

✍️ Here's how the conversion works:

You can convert items using the Change Item Type option, located in the three-dot menu of the item. This allows you to convert any item type (task, project, or folder-based) to any different type. When you initiate the conversion, a new item is created in the same location as the original, with your data copied over. The original item is then moved to the recycle bin.

What's Preserved in the Conversion 📌:

Title, status, start and due dates, assignee(s), location, custom field values, description, task-based subitems, attachments, and sharing settings.

What's Not Preserved 📌:

Item history and comments, approvals, tracked time, dependencies, recurrences, effort, item ID. 

Here are some more things you need to know: 

• The new conversion logic is always accessible from the Item View's context menu "Change item type."
• Task-based subitems attached to a task-based item (subtask) cannot be converted into a project-based type.
• A project or folder with subprojects or subfolders cannot be converted into task-based types.
• The conversion (changing item type between task-based and project-based types) cannot be undone.
• Mass-converting items is not possible.

This release is a huge milestone for Wrike, our Product team and, of course, our Community, which means you! We are truly grateful for your feedback and support of this feature, we couldn't have done it without you! 💚
