Transfer Hours Between Projects

Would love the capability to simply transfer hours from one project to another. For instance, if hours were logged to a project that is then split into 2 projects, would like to copy/move the hours when copying/moving the tasks to the new project.  

We do report on hours per client per quarter/month, we need to make sure we have the right hours logged to the right project/client on the correct dates. Which sometimes requires modifying how the project from original setup.

It would be amazing to have a checkbox alongside the other checkboxes (Constraint, Assignments, etc.) that pop up when you copy/move tasks. This checkbox could labeled "Hours". Another solution could be: within the Hours section of a task or project, the ability to check the hours you want to move and click "Move to" from a dropdown or similar.

Currently I have to log in as the user who logged the hours, remove the hours they logged from the original project, then go to the new project and log the hours to the specific tasks on the specific dates. It works, but it is pretty manual and time intensive.

I have seen a few other articles regarding this feature also but was encouraged to create a new idea, since these were a bit older.

If users apply time to the tasks, then they are already completely transferrable. I use this feature all the time, it just takes training users how to apply time to individual tasks. Unfortunately the only way I know to transfer time applied to the project is by editing the timesheet for that week which is very tedious.
