moving existing terms to a different taxonomy while keeping existing usage

Taxonomy is a great thing. However I found out that it is rather static implemented in drupal. I started with a main list and taxonomy terms under each topics but after some time I found out I would like to reschedule the terms under another topics. So what I want is

  • Dairy
    • Milk
  • Drink
    • Alchohol
      • Beer
      • Wine

now I found out that I would like to have a complete topic about wine, since I want to use that for another type of service (forum, gallery, etc) and to expand it further to wine from 1991, 1992, etc.. or I want to move milk

I quess the only way to migrate the content with taxonomy associated to is, is by diving into the database and use some magic sql statements?

It would be nice if drupal had an interface where I can select terms and topics on the left and move them to a new term/topics on the right

I hope this makes sense, otherwise, feel free to ask what I want.

    Just experience this issue, first I move it by SQL manually but since my client need to move very much terms so I create this module:
    - https://www.drupal.org/project/term_manager โ†’

    Current features:

    1. Move term to another Vocab
    2. Merge term

    I see another module support Merge Term, but its create new Term even the Target Term same as one of Source Term. This module try to use existing term, not create new term.

    Would like to ask around if there is still enough interest to keep this open as future FR for core. So I opened it temporary just in case. If not feel free to close it again.

    Fixed title regarding the comments and the actually wish behind this and to make the intention clear regarding "moving vs replacing".

    This is still a problem in Drupal 10. There was this module "Taxonomy manager", that was solving this problem in Drupal 7, but the version for Drupal 8 and ahead don't have this feature anymore.

    ...but the version for Drupal 8 and ahead don't have this feature anymore.

    from #32, what makes

    if you'd like to see taxonomy_manager added to core, open a feature request against D8.

    from #28 obsolete as solution.

    So we need to find a new approach. I think moving terms is an interesting feature for bigger existing projects and there seem to be no way ou tyet for this.
