Workfront Customer Care advised me that it is expected and normal behavior when Copying Tasks to Projects when selecting only a single working task plus it's parent results in all the parent's child tasks being copied, even if they were not selected for the Copy To operation.
What happens is the selected working task is copied directly underneath the selected parent task that was copied but then all the other child tasks are copied underneath the selected working task. If a parent is selected you have no choice but to copy all of it's child tasks. This makes no sense and will require that we re-create the parent task in the destination project manually or be forced to delete what could be hundreds of tasks from the destination project that were never selected to be copied.
This is a bug that Workfront needs to acknowledge as such and get this fixed. Users know what tasks they want to copy and these choices should be honored by the Copy To operation instead of our being forced to always copy all child tasks whenever a parent is selected for the Copy To.
Anyone else run into this annoying problem?
