Bulk Import Existing Projects to Organization #18561
Description
What's the problem this feature will solve?
Currently importing an existing project to an organization has to be done one by one for each project, where you go through and select the existing project from a drop down, click the transfer button, and wait for the page to reload.
This works fine when you have a small number of existing projects to import, but it starts to fall down when you have a large number of existing projects.
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a mechanism to bulk import multiple existing projects at once, ideally with some mechanism to control which projects actually get imported.
Possible mechanisms:
- Turn the drop down into a multi select and allow selecting multiple projects at once.
- This option probably works nice for medium sized lists, but may not work as great for very large lists, or lists that need to get agreement on before importing.
- Add an additional form for bulk import, that takes a newline delimited list of projects to import and loops over them, importing each one.
- This requires more UI work, but it could allow very large lists and allows the user to predetermine the list easily to get external sign off / validation.
- Add a mechanism to import all projects owned by the current user.
- I don't think this option is great, because a user may only want to import half of their projects or similar.
The outcome of the bulk import should be the same as if the user manually imported each one (sans for maybe the security log indicating it was a bulk import instead of a normal import).
