How to move a task to another list

You can move a task to another list or to your Inbox, one at a time or several at once. It stays the same task, so its subtasks, notes, dates, reminders, files, comments and tags all go with it.

On the web

  1. Open the list, click the three dots at the top right and choose Select.
  2. Click the circle next to each task you want to move.
  3. Click the three dots again and choose Move.

  3. Tap a list, then Move.

You'll see UNDO for 7 seconds here too.

What changes when a task moves?

  • The assignee and verifier are removed. A moved task starts without them, and WeGoDoo tells you before you confirm.
  • Moved into a shared list: everyone in that list can see the task, including its comments and files.
  • Moved out of a shared list: people who aren't in the new list can't see the task any more.
  • Where it lands: at the top of the new list.
  • Repeating tasks keep repeating in the new list.
  • Your team sees the move under the bell. It doesn't send a phone alert.

Who can move a task?

The list owner, a list Admin or the person who created the task. You also need to be in the list you're moving it to. This works on every plan.

When can't I move a task?

  • It's completed.
  • It's waiting for verification. Verify it or remove the verifier first.
  • It's in a read-only list.
  • You want to move it to your Inbox, but someone else created it.
  • The new list doesn't have room for all of them. Nothing moves, and WeGoDoo tells you how many will fit.
  • You've selected more than 100 tasks. You can move up to 100 at a time.
  • You're offline. Moving needs an internet connection.

If only some of your tasks can move, WeGoDoo tells you which ones will stay before you confirm.

Doo and connected AI apps can't move tasks, so this is one you do yourself.
