Deck: Ability to move card to another board [$20]

[jancborchardt]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a task in a board
2. Write a lot of description into it, add tags and details etc
3. Notice it’s in the wrong board

Expected behaviour

You can move it to the correct board.

Actual behaviour

You can not and would need to copypaste all the details over.

Not super crucial, but might be nice to have. :)

There is a $20 open bounty on this issue. Add to the bounty at Bountysource.

I would second this request!!!
I'm looking for a Kanban workflow that is more trello/jira-like in that tasks migrate from one stack to another ("to do" stack --> "in progress" stack --> "done" stack" )
Currently Deck doesn't seem to support that. (Together with that I'd want to use custom labels)

Moving inside a board is already supported.

Together with that I'd want to use custom labels
You can also specify your own labels in the board settings. The default ones can also be changed per board.

Thanks for this info!
Also, should it be possible to move cards (horizontally) between stacks on a board?
It doesn't work for me, but maybe I'm missing something. would not be the first time. :-)

Yes that is also possible. :wink: if it doesn't work for you please open a separate issue for that.

[GoetheG]

This is a really necessary feature. With that you can really start competing with Trello :). My hope is that open source software will be key in the future. Adding this feature would bring us one step forward.

Thank you guys!

[juliushaertl]

Some details that need to be clarified before implementing:

• Labels that are assigned to cards are specific to the individual boards. We need to handle them somehow, since the other board doesn't have those labels. I'd just drop them to keep it simple.
• Same for assigned users. Here we could just keep the users that also have access to the other board.

+1, this was the first thing I noticed I needed that this excellent software doesn't already provide!

[NebriBlackwing]

@juliushaertl Where would you like this to be placed? I'm thinking the side panel on the card details with typeahead's for the new board?

[juliushaertl]

@Nebri It would make sense to add this as an option to the 3-dots menu on the board view. We can then just show a popover with the option to copy/move the card to a different stack or board. Similar to how trello does it:

Sorry for inactivity, needed a break / interviews. Getting back on this task.

[NebriBlackwing]

@nextcloud/deck Having a hard time figuring out how to do the pop over form you have mocked up there. Anybody able to contribute a code snippet to help get me on my way?

Edit: just had my AHA moment, working code snippet here: https://codepen.io/rfletcher-CodePassion/pen/OoBpgb

[NebriBlackwing]

Aplogies for inactivity, resuming work on this task now :).

[NebriBlackwing]

@nextcloud/deck opened up PR #652 as a WIP. I'm blocked on trying to resolve the entire boardsList. If anyone doesn't mind looking at that PR and the changes I've got in the boardscontroller that will help to get this done in a timely manner.

My guess is that I am either misuing the BoardService or it is bugged and not returning the expected results. I need to which is the case in order to continue.

[brianbgness]

I would love to have this functionality! If too difficult to implement drag and drop, perhaps a Move option could be added to the card triple-dot menu. Then be prompted for which board and stack to move to.

[NebriBlackwing]

Yes the ... dot menu is my plan for this. I've been taking some job interviews in my local area and getting bogged down by the code challenges companies are wanting me to do as part of their application process. Going to touching up my own portfolio tomorrow morning, but back around to this in the afternoon.

Anyone else working on this? It sounds like an easy added feature which solves a lot of hassle when moving cards over boards...

@Aesculapius JuliusHeartl is currently assigned to this which is an indication that he is actively working on it. There's been a lot of overhead work that contributors have been working towards that needs to be done first (the migration to vue.js being the largest).

I've also been bogged down by a real world job search, hence why I released the issue from my personal custody.

[juliushaertl]

Yes, we definitely should get the vue migration done before we continue with feature development, otherwise we end up doing the work twice. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time recently for deck, I hope that will change in the next weeks. :wink:

[rhersel]

I support this request as well. This is a basic feature to work seriously with Kanban boards.

[oskiebe]

+1 - would love to see this!

[juliushaertl]

@oskiebe @rhersel Please use the Github Reactions feature instead of commenting that also need a specific feature. That way we can see your support without notifying all users subscribed to a given issue.

[juliushaertl]

Closing as this was implemented in the vue branch and is now merged to master.

@jakobroehrl There is a bounty on it, make sure to pick it up :wink:

[treborxy]

Hello juliushaertl,
I'm not sure: is "moving cards from one board to another" implemented in branch master? And if, how to use i?
Thx, Robert

[jakobroehrl]

@treborxy
It's implented. Use it with the 3 dot menu of any card

[juliushaertl]

Note this is not yet released in a stable version, just available in the nightly builds.

[treborxy]

Thanks! I tried to test nighly and uploaded the decomp. tar - but what I get in protocol after activating is an error - could you please give a hint how to prepare the nightlies? Thx a lot!

Oh, sorry for the inconvenience here. It seems that the nightly build upload is currently failing. I'll look into that and created a separate issue for tracking https://github.com/nextcloud/deck/issues/1595
