Description

Documents moving and copying findings to another test in DefectDojo Pro. The test can be in the same engagement, another engagement, or another asset.

  • PRO__bulk_edit_findings.md: the new Move or Copy section of Bulk Edit:
    • how to pick the destination, including create-matching-engagement-and-test;
    • what a move changes (endpoints, finding group, risk acceptance, SLA, deduplication, note), and that a linked Jira issue stays linked;
    • what a copy carries, the risk-acceptance and deduplication rules for copies, and that an attachment whose stored file is missing is skipped and listed;
    • the permissions: the destination is checked before anything moves, and Bulk Edit needs edit permission on every selected finding, so a view-only user copies from the finding menu;
    • the public /api/v2/ move and copy actions for automation, with request examples, the 1,000-ID limit on bulk requests, and how unknown IDs are reported;
    • where to move or copy a single finding: Move or Copy Finding in its menu.
  • PRO__findings.md: the Copy Finding menu entry becomes Move or Copy Finding. It offers the same toggle and destination as Bulk Edit, and offers Move only to users who can edit the finding.
  • editing_findings.md: the note on the read-only Test field now points to Move or Copy Finding. It also says that changing test in an API update of a finding has no effect, so automations should use the move endpoint.

Documentation only; no code changes.

Document the Pro Move or Copy bulk-edit section and the Move or Copy
Finding menu action, which offers the same toggle and destination for one
finding (Move only with edit permission): destinations in the same
engagement, another engagement or another asset; what a move changes and
what a copy carries; the risk-acceptance and deduplication rules; the
permissions; and the public /api/v2/ move and copy actions for
automation. The Test field note on Editing Findings now points at the
menu action and the move endpoint, since changing test in a finding
update has no effect.
