Philipp Berner
Hello all,
I'm new to the API and just familiarizing myself with the posts.
could you explain to me the workflow you'd like to solve in code where duplicating a task, list or folder would be helpful.
Questions that come to my mind:
- Why not get a task and use that content to create another one?
- Duplicating a folder, what does the new folder content look like? Is it empty or does it have all the lists in there?
Thanks for sharing your needs.

Philipp Berner We create and use a new list for each new client project we work on.
I set up a list template set up with views pre-configured, dummy tasks set up with descriptions, time estimates, etc... Our current workflow is to use this to build-out the new client project once a sale is completed.
We're doing this manually but if there was a "Create List from Template" or "Duplicate list" functionality available via the API I could automate at least part of the project setup task.

Justin Raine: Got it. I'm just spending some time on how a Create from Template API for object could look like. Good to hear that this would solve your problem. Thanks for the quick reply

Philipp Berner I second to what Justin Raine said. I have a "Catalog" Space with my services separated by folders. Those folders have different lists with different views and different visible columns, etc. They are basically prepared for new projects, but we need to duplicate those service folders manually at the moment.
Here are some functions that would solve the problem in preferred order:
- "Duplicate Folder" and/or "Duplicate List" - Carrying all the views, settings, columns, etc.
- "Create List from Template" or "Create Folder from Template"

Philipp Berner if we get to duplicate folders with for example Make or Zapier, then we can trigger the automation by a form submission with client details that will require just a couple steps/modules. Right now we have a massive automation process, divided in several 'automations' just to accomplish: creating a folder, creating lists inside the folder, creating tasks within each list, assigning people and due dates, updating custom fields, etc. In our case, we need 7-10 lists per folder, and each list can have 30 different task, with multiple subtasks. We have template folders, template lists and tasks but this can't be duplicated in Make or Zapier, not all of the mentioned options. Instead, we'd like to duplicate a template folder that has everything we need inside and just map the tasks that will require due date updates.

I would like to be able to duplicate a task within the API.

is this planned ? it would make a great addition

It's crazy to me that this is still not available... Clickup comm'on

This is an important feature to implement

This is already possible if we use Zapier, then why not Make (Integromat)?

Does the API support duplicate task now?
Andrew Vink
This would be awesome! We've been able to do this in the past with other PM tools - surprised to see this missing in ClickUp, looking forward to having this in out automated workflow again :)
