[Status: Not Planned] Changing the "Author" of a project
Hi, I would like to request that the "author" of a project can be changed. It seems at the moment, once someone creates a project, they are the "author" and it cannot be changed.
Sometimes the person who starts a project isn't always the person who is responsible for the project. For example, if someone is on a holiday when the project begins, a different person will create the schedule than the person who is the true owner of the schedule. Once the vacation is over, and the rightful project manager takes the project over, they aren't considered the author.
We also have our dashboards set up so we can monitor the tasks of our projects. But I don't see an easy way to follow the tasks of a project that you own, only if you are the author.
So here is a totally new use case which I have not seen brought up.
New employee. The wrike account is added by automation between AD, Okta, and Wrike. On initial IT Account creation, the email address had a typo. Between initial entry and correcting the typo, the new employee entered tasks. Now that the email address changed, we have an author for an invalid email address.
There is no way I see to correct this without being able to change Author.
I realize the importance of tracking task/project history, and I have to agree that the reasons I have seen so far do not justify changing author, but in my case it should be up to the admin.
I also have to agree, that if admin wants to change a setting, it should be allowed. Track it in a log file, but not necessarily in the task history as this causing problems for latest change.
