Make Project Packages/Return Packages More Flexible/Easier to Use

There are a lot of fixed rules around importing and creating packages.
I think packages should be much more simpler, i.e. no need for comparing Guids/Project Ids or anything like that. It should be as simple as selecting import and the files being overwritten!

1. In order to create project packages, you need to set the "Assign To". I think it should be allowed to create Project Packages with leaving this option blank.

2. You are only allowed to create Return Packages if the project was a received Project Package. Allow Return Packages all the time without any limitations.
Use Case: Recreate the project due to issues with the original received Project Package

3. You cannot import Project Packages if you publish the project to Groupshare. I would like to see compatibility between packages and Groupshare.

4. Allow re-importing packages you have already imported.

  • Also, I would like to see a functionality that makes it possible to select multiple Project Packages and open/unpack these at a specified location in one go instead of having to open every single Project Package individually and for each Project Package choose at which location you want to unpack the project. Also make it possible to select several projects in the Projects View and create invidual Project Packages or Return Packages for the selected projects.
