Cross-Tag Task Movement

# Move a single task
taskgraph move --from=5 --to=7

# Move a subtask
taskgraph move --from=5.2 --to=7.3

# Move multiple tasks
taskgraph move --from=5,6,7 --to=10,11,12

# Basic cross-tag move
taskgraph move --from=5 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress

# Move multiple tasks
taskgraph move --from=5,6,7 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=done

taskgraph move --from=5 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --with-dependencies

taskgraph move --from=5 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --ignore-dependencies

❌ Cannot move tasks from "backlog" to "in-progress"

Cross-tag dependency conflicts detected:
  • Task 5 depends on 2 (in backlog)
  • Task 6 depends on 3 (in done)

Resolution options:
  1. Move with dependencies: taskgraph move --from=5,6 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --with-dependencies
  2. Break dependencies: taskgraph move --from=5,6 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --ignore-dependencies
  3. Validate and fix dependencies: taskgraph validate-dependencies && taskgraph fix-dependencies
  4. Move dependencies first: taskgraph move --from=2,3 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress
  5. After deciding, re-run the move with either --with-dependencies or --ignore-dependencies

❌ Cannot move subtask 5.2 directly between tags

Subtask movement restriction:
  • Subtasks cannot be moved directly between tags
  • They must be promoted to full tasks first

Resolution options:
  1. Promote subtask to full task: taskgraph remove-subtask --id=5.2 --convert
  2. Then move the promoted task: taskgraph move --from=5 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress
  3. Or move the parent task with all subtasks: taskgraph move --from=5 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --with-dependencies

❌ Invalid tag combination

Error details:
  • Source tag: "backlog"
  • Target tag: "backlog"
  • Reason: Source and target tags are identical

Resolution options:
  1. Use different tags for cross-tag moves
  2. Use within-tag move: taskgraph move --from=<id> --to=<id> --tag=backlog
  3. Check available tags: taskgraph tags

# Check for dependency issues
taskgraph validate-dependencies

# Fix common dependency problems
taskgraph fix-dependencies

# Move multiple tasks with dependencies
taskgraph move --from=5,6,7 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --with-dependencies

# Move multiple tasks, breaking dependencies
taskgraph move --from=5,6,7 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=in-progress --ignore-dependencies

# This will create the "new-feature" tag if it doesn't exist
taskgraph move --from=5 --from-tag=backlog --to-tag=new-feature

# Uses current tag as source
taskgraph move --from=5 --to-tag=in-progress

// Move task with dependencies
await moveTask({
  from: "5",
  fromTag: "backlog", 
  toTag: "in-progress",
  withDependencies: true
});

// Break dependencies
await moveTask({
  from: "5",
  fromTag: "backlog",
  toTag: "in-progress", 
  ignoreDependencies: true
});
