Feature Request: Duplicate Labels Custom Field with options and task values
When duplicating a Labels custom field, only the field shell (name, type, visibility, locations) is copied. The label options and per-task values are not carried over, resulting in an empty field.
For a list with 135+ tasks where each task has 3-4 labels, manually recreating the options and re-assigning values is not feasible. This is a basic database operation (column duplication with data) that should be handled natively.
Current behavior:
Duplicating a Labels custom field creates a new field with no options and no task values.
Expected behavior:
Duplicating a Labels custom field should copy all label options (with colors and order) and all per-task values to the new field.
Use case:
We needed to split one Labels field into two (primary owner vs. supporting teams). The only workaround was to use ClickUp Brain to copy values task-by-task via API, which took over 10 minutes for 135 tasks. A native duplicate-with-values feature would complete this in seconds.
This applies equally to Dropdown custom fields.
