This is not fixed yet, but IBM added an Advanced Property to skip the delete permission check. This allows end users to move objects to other folders if set to True. However, this works application wide, not at the project level.
For the comment about iFix004 to iFix015, that was a typo and I am unable to edit the comment. It should state iFix004 to iFix014. iFix 014 is what is now having issues related to this moving artifact issue.
We are facing the same issue. Until very recently our instance was iFix004 and we were able to move artifacts without issue (though sometimes the menu option was greyed out, we always had the drag and drop option). A few weeks ago we moved from iFix004 to iFix015 and have discovered we are now unable to move single artifacts but can move multiple artifacts at once. Since this finding came to light, to move 1 artifact we have to move 3 artifacts to a new folder, leave the artifact you wanted to move, and move the remaining 2 artifacts back to their original folder. This process is tedious and time consuming, but was sufficient as a workaround while we reached out to IBM for resolution. We then discovered our workaround is actually an unintended loophole, since all of our end user delete permissions are off. Somehow it prevents moving of single artifacts, but allows users to move multiple artifacts at a time, which IBM informed us is a glitch in the system. In working with IBM, we understand the loophole will likely be closed and we will be left with end users unable to move anything (single or multiple), but we are also unable to allow the delete permissions to be on due to internal security requirements. Having had access to artifact moving functionality on iFix004, removing the move option while delete permissions are off seems to be a design choice by IBM that was implemented in a later iFix, a choice that is now creating speedbumps to our end users' productivity and will create roadblocks when the loophole is closed and nothing that be moved.
This is a valid request for enhancement.
We would need to consider adding a new "Move artifact of type x" permission and require that the user have that permission in both the source and target folder.
