Need the ability to move projects around within business units

We need to be confident that we can change which business unit a project is assigned to without losing data.

    If this area is being looked at then can you also please review the inability to have duplicate names.

    For example:

    • North

      • Commercial

      • Residential

    • South

      • Commercial

      • Residential

    Would be a perfectly logical structure as the path for each BU is unique. However, it isn't an option as the system flattens the structure.

    Any update on this? We have some projects that need to move to different BU but don't want to lose the data that is already in the project by recreating it.

    Business structures change with regional boundaries moving to encompass different projects.

    For example a North / South split may be fine to start with, but when this changes to a North / Midlands / South split due to the number of projects increasing.  A number of projects will need to be moved from the 2 previous regions to the newly created "Midlands" region.
