Hi @sujit-baniya! Thank you for the question.

The move operation you described above is not supported currently. Once a task is put into a queue, it's stuck with that queue. This is mostly due to the fact that we use the queue name string for the hash tag for redis cluster.

A workaround would be to delete the task from the source queue and enqueue a new task to the destination queue to do a "move" operation (one downside is that this operation won't be an atomic one)

I'll close this issue since I don't see supporting this feature
