[From Wrike] Converting Existing Items to Custom Item Types ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Hi everyone!ย 

We are happy to announce that you can now convert your existing tasks and projects to Custom item types ๐Ÿฅณ

This has been a very prominent piece of feedback that weโ€™ve received from many of you. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re so pleased to be able to bring this update to you today ๐Ÿ™‚Weโ€™d also like to thank everyone whoโ€™s been sharing their thoughts on Custom item types and posting ideas, suggestions, and questions. Our Product team continues to monitor your feedback closely and is grateful to you for providing it.

How to

Users who have Full or Editor access roles can convert tasks to task-based Custom item types and projects to project-based ones.ย 

  • Using mass editingย 

Please note that converting multiple work items is only available for tasks.ย 

  • In List View (by right-clicking on the task or project)

  • On the project or task panel

Please note that you can not only convert your tasks and projects into Custom item types but also change them back to regular tasks and projects.

๐Ÿ“ŒWeโ€™ve also added a new permission to Access roles related to Custom item types - the ability to convert tasks and projects into Custom Item Types and vice versa.ย 

We hope this newly added functionality will help you to get the most from Custom item types! Please share your feedback and question with us below ๐Ÿ‘‡

I'm missing the update of the workflow and rules after the convert. The workflow is still the default and the rules are ignored.

Will this be talked about at Wrike Collaborate during the Custom Item Types session?

Thanks for this, very well received. It would make more sense to me if the right click action was in the left side folder tree rather than in list view, but perhaps that's just me?ย

This will help a lot the transition to the new type of itens <3

Lisa what Wrike recomends for the old task type? Is there a way to hide it system wide? Or to make it as a new type of item? (Hope I could explain it right haha)

Melynda Willis There'll be a session on CITs - please check it out here "Get exCITed about Custom Item Types!" ๐Ÿ‘

Mark Tucknutt I've shared your feedback with the team anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

Neyl Walecki No spoilers, but you will soon have more control over the types of items in your account ๐Ÿค—

Lisa - As best I can tell, the API doesn't yet support the ability to change the item type. Is this by any chance available but not yet documented? If not, any ETA on when the API will support this capability?

It would be very useful to be able to use automation rules to change the item type to a specific custom type - like when a task is moved to a specific folder or a particular custom field value is selected.

I would also like to see automation able to change a custom item type - this would be extremely helpful in ITSM models as items flow through different centers of excellence.ย

chiming in, having the ability to change an existing task item type via the API or automation would be very helpful!
