Migrate your The Daily Project data

Tasks are the primary data unit in The Daily Project. We migrate title, description, due date, recurrence rule, priority flag, and checklist items as a flat structure. Subtask ordering is preserved by sequence number.

Projects are containers for tasks and map directly to most destination PM tools. We migrate project name, colour label, and task membership. Archived projects require an explicit toggle to be included in the migration scope.

Sections provide horizontal grouping within a project (e.g. Backlog, In Progress, Done). We preserve section names and the relative order of tasks within each section.

Comments are attached to tasks. We migrate comment body text, author, and timestamp. Mentions within comment text are preserved as plain-text @username strings and may require manual re-linking in the destination.

The Daily Project stores attachment URLs pointing to externally hosted files. We transfer the URL reference and the original filename. The actual file content must be downloaded separately and re-uploaded to the destination storage layer.

Labels are flat tag strings applied to tasks. We migrate label names and apply them to the corresponding tasks in the destination. Where the destination uses a hierarchical or coloured label model, we flatten and map by best-fit label name.

Recurrence is stored as a natural-language RRULE string (e.g. FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR). We parse and re-express these rules in the destination's recurrence format. Complex or non-standard recurrence strings may fall back to a manual review step.

The Daily Project does not expose a custom fields object in its documented API. Any customer-specific field definitions discovered in the UI are treated as text-based task properties and migrated as part of the task description or as a custom note attribute.
