Summary	0010225: Export issue to another Mantis instance
Description	Since we use Mantis on various locations, each having their own instance, we needed the option to export an issue from one instance to another. I had already created that for version 1.0 but since we are closely monitoring 1.2 I decided to create a plugin (as I am doing for other parts we have customized). So here is version 0.95 for testing.
Additional Information	Within an issue, you will find a menu option called Export Issue Provided you have the correct authorisation level you can choose to export this issue. The next screen will provide a list of available instances. Select one and click on Start Export. That is all ! More information in the package.
Tags	No tags attached.

giallu 2010-02-26 10:03 reporter ~0024544	oops, sorry, I did not really understand the scope of your work. Yes, we could add the "push issues to another instance" part to the XML import/export plugin, but until then it would be nice to move this plugin to the git.mantisforge.org repo. Are you willing to publish and maintain it there?
