Hi again, I wanted to request the ability to move an entity to another type, perhaps by drag and drop or copy/paste? I have reorganized my Apps from time to time, and had some entities that were built out with descriptions, comments, and some related stuff, that were now in the wrong Type due to t…

Hi Guys, Wanted to bump this up as I am hoping it is something we will see in the future. The reason I am asking again is that as I build my Fibery, I am both working in it, and evolving the set up at the same time. So I am seeing a few situations where I’d like to adjust the set-up of Types and …

Hey guys, @mdubakov sorry to bother you but I wanted to bump this up again. Very curious about your thoughts here. I know this might involve some mapping that needs to happen because types have different fields, etc. But I am seeing this need a lot now as my team gets active in Fibery. One situa…

Guys, just wanted to try to find out again if you have thoughts on this. I imagine as the user base of Fibery grows I won’t be the only one with this issue. For more context, this is a big piece of Jira, which I’m sure many Fibery converts have dealt with, and because of the massive customization …

Hey, I just wanted to add one more point of context to this feature. I realize there are complexities given the mapping around different Types, but it is a need that arises a lot, that’s why I think Jira has a complex, but no question well-thought out, process around this. What I wanted to mention…

Hey Guys, just wanted to bump this one too as I have not seen any official response to this. Seems like a common need. Just about any other tool I’ve used allows for moving the data record from one “area” to another: The above Jira Example Moving between Tables in Notion ClickUp - easily moving …

It also occurs to me that this could be handled if you guys were able to implement the excellent “Import Data” dialogue. I just used this now for the first time as I was building my Fibery Instance “clean” up till now. And I notice that it has all the re-mapping functionality already there. [ima…

Yes! I thought about this too, that the “remap” functions are already there and well implemented (better than in many other apps!), but hardly get use, at least for me. Moving between types with a similar approach would make a lot of sense, I think.

Exactly, I just discovered this whole tool and the remap stuff is really well-executed. And you are right, I can’t use all of them because I’ve been using this to try to move my stuff in and out of Fibery, so those fields that can’t show up in “Table View” I can’t use the mapping for!

We have this in our backlog, but so far no estimates about possible dates.

+1. Ability to convert to another type would be very helpful. Especially for converting tasks to projects. For now, we just use references to create task. Then, so in theory ― this still works since we can keep a record of where it came from. Best
