Mass-creating/duplicating taks

We need to be able to mass-duplicate tasks because some tasks all need to be dependant of one another... Exemple: one for each month (calendars exemple) since it is easier for our clients and collaborators to look at the task of each month, rather then having to go through, sometimes, 50 different documents and comments, etc etc...

So making them recurrent doesn't work for our needs, and we need to be able to mass-duplicate (or create) tasks to save time in the creation of client projets that require a lot of separate and independent tasks, even if the "tasks" are the same...

I hope this makes sense to someone and you guys at Wrike can make this available in a next version!

Thank you!

Hi Elyse, makes sense! Welcome to the forums 🙌 .What about tagging all of the tasks that need to be duplicated in one Folder? That way you can duplicate that one Folder with all the tasks in it at one time.

I need to mass-duplicate a block of tasks where I'll need to change the dates, location/folder, and the titles and I can't do that so I need to go one by one to ensure that I don't spam folks with a ton of notifications. Being able to mass-duplicate tasks and be able to control where the new tasks go, if notifications get sent, if other values like assignees get copied, etc. would be so beneficial!

Hi,

It would beneficial for us too.

I have tried Blueprint and Templates (folder containing our templates) but nothing works as expected. Either I duplicate a whole folder/project while I just want to copy tasks inside it or using my "Template" folder and selecting tasks I want to duplicate I only have "Move to" / "add to" / "remove to" but not "copy to"

Thank you for your feedback, @Anna Giacobbe and @Constant Biblocque! I’ve shared this with our product team. 👍🏽

Did you get a chance to try the workaround Stephanie suggested above? You can add the necessary tasks to a folder, duplicate the folder to copy all the tasks, and then mass select and Move them to the original location. It’s not the most ideal solution, but please let me know if it helps. 😊
