Copying and Moving Tasks

Copying or moving the task copies the duration, schedule type, work, resource allocation, budget, estimated costs, documents, Security (object level) etc. You can set a different start date for the clone and the finish date will be computed. 

To clone a task to a different project, you can first copy the task, and then move it across the projects. This also copies the same task attributes mentioned above.

To copy a task in a project :

  1. Go to the Gantt of your project.
  2. Select a task(s) and press Ctrl+C on the keyboard OR right-click on the task and select Copy.
  3. Now, select the task under which you want to paste the task and press Ctrl+V on the keyboard  OR  right-click on the task and select Paste. The new task(s) is now seen under the task. 

     

To Move a task to another project :

  2. Right-click on the task you wish to move and click on Move.
  3. Now, in the new pop-up, pick the project where the task will be moved and click on Next. The task will move to the selected project.
