Features: Comments and Descriptions

Link rewriting Updated

Ditto will rewrite links in descriptions and comments to ensure that relationships between tasks are maintained. Currently Ditto is able to rewrite task and project links when the targets of those links are part of the transfer.

Project descriptions

Project descriptions are copied with full HTML formatting intact.

Task descriptions

Task descriptions are copied with full HTML formatting intact.

Task comments

Ditto is not able to copy comments exactly as they originally appeared. This is because when creating copied tasks Ditto acts on behalf of a single user, rather than the users who originally created the comments.

The workaround currently used is to collect all task comments together into a single summary comment, indicating the original author and the fully-formatted message text.

Task events

Ditto can include a history of task events in the comments. Configuring which events to include in this log is a transfer option.

Links to other tasks and projects in the task event history will also be rewritten to point to a transferred resource if applicable.
