Duplicate tasks and sections in Plans and Applications
You can now duplicate tasks in Plans and sections in Applications to quickly create similar tasks and sections, saving you time.
Duplicating tasks in Plans
In list view on the Plan tasks tab, click Duplicate task for the task you want to duplicate.

- Attachments - Attachments are not copied to the duplicated task.
- Submission logs - Contributions and approvals are not copied over and submission logs are reset in the duplicated task.
- Task status - The task status for duplicated tasks is set to Closed.
Duplicating sections in Applications

When you duplicate a section, details such as the Assets and
Contributor groups are copied over to the duplicated item. The following
information in the duplicate section is different from the original:
