Additionally, when you created a new task by copying it from an existing transferred task, the new task also contained duplicate pages, and the data from the text fields on the transferred tasks did not copy into the text fields of the new task. Now, all district transfers function correctly, and all data from the copied tasks display in the new task fields.
