Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same feature request.

Description

Problem:
Currently when moving a card in Vikunja, it is moved to the default bucket within the target project/board. There is no option to select the specific destination bucket during the move process. This creates unnecessary extra steps, as users must move the task and then manually relocate it again to the correct bucket.

Proposed Solution:
Enhance the move functionality to allow users to choose the destination bucket when moving a task.

Move Task
• Option in task menu: Move
• Allow user to:
• Choose destination project/board
• Choose the destination bucket within that project
• Optionally choose position in bucket (top, bottom, or specific order)

Default behaviour:
• If no bucket is selected, use the current behaviour (default bucket).

Here is an example video of how it can be done in Trello:

Benefits
• Reduces friction when reorganising tasks
• Improves workflow across multiple lists within a project
• Eliminates unnecessary intermediate steps

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?
