## Description

Extracted from <mention class="mention" data-id="26352" data-type="work_package" data-text="#26352">#26352</mention>

It is unclear why work packages were not copied to a new project. If there are invalid work packages, they are being logged, but not output to the user (e.g., in the copy mail).

There’s no way to find out what wasn’t copied outside the log. I believe we have two separate steps we could take:

1.  Extend the mail response you get when copying with all invalid items that had to be skipped.
2.  Provide an option that allows invalid work packages to be copied. I’m not quite sure of the ramifications If we were to allow this, but just naming it here for further discussion.
