Duplicating tasks, Lists, Folders, or Spaces with dependencies maintains the relationships on the new task or location.
The new dependency relationships will vary depending on the tasks in the original dependency relationship.
Duplicating a task with dependent subtasks
For example:
Task A has two subtasks, Subtask 1 which is blocking Subtask 2.
Duplicating Task A creates a new Task A with two dependent subtasks: Subtask 1 which is blocking Subtask 2.
Duplicating a task with dependencies to other tasks
Relationships between tasks in different Lists keep the relationship to the original task.
For example:
Task B is blocking Task C, which happens to live in a different List.
Duplicating task B creates a new Task B which is also blocking the original Task C.
Duplicating a List
When you duplicate a List with dependency relationships on the tasks and subtasks in the List, the relationships are duplicated on the new tasks.
For example:
Task A is blocking Task B. Both tasks live in List 1.
Task A also has two subtasks: Subtask 1 which is blocking Subtask 2.
When duplicating List 1:
- The new Task A is blocking the new Task B.
- The new Subtask 1 is blocking the new Subtask 2.
Duplicating a List with dependencies outside the List
When duplicating a List where tasks or subtasks are dependent on tasks in other Lists, the relationships are maintained with the related task or subtask.
For example:
Task C lives in List 1. Task C is blocking on Task D which lives in List 2.
Duplicating List 1 creates a new Task C which is also blocking the original Task D.
Duplicating Folders and Spaces
Duplicating Folders or Spaces works the same way as duplicating a List:
- Dependencies between tasks or subtasks within the location are duplicated onto the new tasks.
- Dependencies between tasks outside the location are duplicated to the original dependent item.
