- Enter the project task ID

Cause
Project A contains the tasks to be assigned to Project B. However, Project A is currently in 'Closed' status, while Project B is in 'Released' status.
Resolution
Ensure that both Project A and Project B are set to the status 'Released'. Tasks can only be assigned once the projects are in this specific status. If either of the projects is still in a different status (Closed), the system will restrict task assignment. Kindly update the status accordingly before proceeding with task allocation.
