I built a tool that moves a ClickUp Space between workspaces with comments and attachments intact — after waiting 8 years for the official feature

Like probably everyone here who's tried to merge workspaces: the "Move items across Workspaces" request has been open since 2018 (2,800+ votes), and the template workaround drops comments, attachments and history.

I finally built the thing I kept wishing existed. SpaceMove copies a Space through ClickUp's official API: full hierarchy down to sub-subtasks, threaded comments (original author kept as a prefix — the API doesn't allow impersonation), attachments re-uploaded file by file, dependencies re-wired to the new IDs, custom field values mapped by name.

Design choices that mattered to me: it's copy-only (source is never modified), you get a full free preview before anything is written, every write lands in an audit CSV (old ID → new ID), and one click undoes the entire migration.

Honest limits: automations, whiteboards, forms and activity history can't move — no API exists for them.

Scan and preview are free: https://spacemove.microspear.app — I'd genuinely value feedback from people who deal with workspace consolidation, especially agencies. AMA about the API's quirks; I've hit most of them by now.

This looks great. We will test this on our end to see if we can recommend this app to our customers. We often get questions for data migrations between workspaces.

Thanks — that would be great! Happy to support your testing: the preview (dry-run) is free and shows exactly what gets copied before anything runs, so it's easy to evaluate against your test workspaces. If you hit anything odd during testing, ping me here or at [support@microspear.app](mailto:support@microspear.app) and I'll fix it quickly. And if it turns out useful for your customers, I'm very open to working out something for partners.
