💡Feature Request: Duplicate Sections or Multiple Tasks At Once

Channing Kelly

I would be interested in being able to duplicate either an entire section, or multiple tasks at once.

Currently, I have a "leads" board and each section is a client lead with a specified set of tasks associated with that lead. Once the lead converts to a client they get moved into separate project board with a full set of sections and tasks according to the project at hand. It would be very convenient to just be able to have a section at the front of my leads board that would serve as the template and when a new lead comes in I could copy the section and begin work on the new lead.

Right now my work around is a saved checklist that I then convert the checklist items into tasks OR I have a project template I duplicate and then move that section to my leads board, but both are not as simple as just duplicating an entire section.

Hi @channing 👋😉

what an interesting feature request...and worth to be upvoted. While you're waiting for more votes you may try out the following steps below:

• Create the mentioned template section...that is a good idea Channing 👍️
• Create a new section for a new client (lead)
• Create the desired task templates in the template section
• Then try out to work with the selection of multiple tasks in the template section.
• Duplicate them as shown in the picture below

• Then (multiple) select them again
• and move them into the section of the new client

These steps for the workflow could definitely be shortened by your feature request Channing 💪

@Jörg Koper this is amazing -- thank you! I kept going up to the ellipsis on the section thinking that's where I would find the ability to duplicate the multi-selected tasks. I never noticed the task count and ellipsis at the top of the entire board! For the most part this does give me a better way, though if a section contained many tasks it would still be tedious. I think I must not have been searching the support articles for the right terms. For anyone looking at this, here's the support article to show you where you will find this.
