How do I copy a single project from one FogBugz installation to another?

I have been using my FBOD account to keep track of some ideas related to a project that is still just a gleam in the collective eye of our engineering department. Should the project finally get the green light, I would like to move this information into our FB installation at work.

Is it possible to copy a single project from one FogBugz installation to another?

It's possible, but difficult and a bit messy if you're doing it directly via the database, because the ID's of each entity (project, person, etc.) are different. Doing this via the API is probably a bit better, because then you can use string values rather than indexes. For example, you don't need to look up a person's ixPerson to assign a case to them, you just say sPersonAssignedTo=Bob+Roberts.

Not impossible, but it is work. We can help you along, so do contact us when the time comes.

This looks like another example of an external tool (using the API_ that could be useful to many people.

I use FB at my day job and for two side-businesses. I am selling one of the side projects and am encouraging the buyer to sign up for FB on demand. I can't hand over my account to him since it is used for many other projects, but it would be nice to have a tool that we could just run to transfer a set of data from one FB to another.

Not an answer, but I added this idea to the list of plugin requests over here.
