Copy a task tree

Copy a task and its subtasks to quickly create related work. Choose which information to copy and a destination project where you have edit access.

  • Rule 1: Copying a parent task also copies all its subtasks.

    • For example, copying a top-level task includes all second- and third-level tasks and their parent-child relationships.

    • You can also copy a second- or third-level task. The copied root becomes a top-level task.

  • Rule 2: Select the information to include in the copy.

    • Task content: task name, type, and hierarchy. Always included.

    • Task members: assignees, reviewers, and followers. Included by default; optional.

    • Task schedule: planned start and end dates and planned work hours. Included by default; optional.

    • Other fields

      • Fields with creation defaults use those defaults, such as the starting task stage, calendar-day work calculation, milestone setting, and notification setting.

      • Fields without creation defaults are left blank.

  • Rule 3: Choose the destination project.

    • By default, tasks are copied to the current project.

    • You can choose another project where you have edit access.

    • When copying to another project, review and confirm the destination.

Edit a task

Click the Assignee or Planned dates column to edit those fields directly in the list.
