| + | A functionality that can be really convenient would be if it is possible to select a number of tasks and deliverables and to cut and paste these into another container task. This page describes how cutting a number of selected elements is implemented. | ||
== Design == | == Design == | ||
| − | To be able to cut a number of selected elements, a kind of 'clipboard' must be created. This can be easily done by the <tt>ContainerId</tt> of the elements; if this field is set to the maximum integer number (<tt>MaxInt</tt>). This looks like as if the selected elements were moved to a 'virtual container' with this <tt>Id</tt>. | + | To be able to cut a number of selected elements to be able to [[Paste elements in the Administration|paste]] them in some other container, a kind of 'clipboard' must be created.

This looks like as if the selected elements were moved to a 'virtual container' with this <tt>Id</tt>. |
| − | + | However, before doing this, the old 'contents' of the clipboard must be deleted. Also, there are additional operations that need to be performed: | |
| − | + | * Deselecting any selected [[Clone|clones]] because those can not be deleted (or cut) by the user. | |
| − | + | * For all selected deliverables, delete links to non-selected tasks. | |
| − | + | * For all selected tasks, delete links to non-selected deliverables. | |
