All users except Collaborators, Contributors, and Viewers can duplicate projects.
Duplicate a project to quickly copy its data and contents.
When you duplicate a project, the owner, workflow, start and end dates, custom fields, subprojects, and dependencies between tasks are automatically duplicated as well.
Only statuses from the Active category are preserved. Project and task statuses from any other category are reset to the first Active status. Comments from the original project aren't copied.
Time entries are not carried over to the new item after duplication.
Note
There's a weekly limit on mass item creation of 3000 items for Free, Professional and Team accounts, and 12000 items for Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Pinnacle Accounts. Wrike checks if the limit has been reached in the previous 7 days. When the limit is reached, new item creation from blueprints or via duplication is blocked until the limit is reset automatically (after 7 days) or manually (with the help of Wrike Support Team). Additionally, there's a limit of 5000 items created in bulk during one action. The same limits apply to other mass creation actions like Excel import and MS Project import.
There are several ways to duplicate:
-
From the space’s sidebar:
-
Navigate to the project in a sidebar.
-
Right-click on project 1 and select Duplicate 2 from the menu.
-
-
From Table view:
-
Navigate to the space that contains the relevant project.
-
Switch to Table view 3.
-
Right-click or click on the three-dot menu button 4 next to the title.
-
Select Duplicate 5 from the menu that appears.
-
-
From project's item view:
-
Navigate to a relevant space and select a project from the side bar.
-
Click on the info icon 6 next to the project's title to open its item view.
-
Click on the three dot menu button 7 to top right corner of the view and select Duplicate 8 from the drop-down.
-
-
From the Duplicate menu you can:
-
Change the project name (optional) 9.
-
Add a prefix (optional) 10. Text added in the prefix field is added to the beginning of the titles of all items within the duplicated project (this includes subprojects, subfolders, tasks, and subtasks).
-
Select a new location (optional) 11. Select the folder, project, or space where your duplicated folder should be added. If you don’t pick a new location, the copy is created in the same location as the original.
-
-
Check the boxes under What to copy 12 to select what you'd like to duplicate:
-
Tasks: Copy all of the project tasks and subtasks.
-
Description: Copy the task descriptions as well as the project description.
-
Attachments: Copy items attached to tasks and the project info panel.
-
Assignees: Copy task assignees.
-
Custom field values: Duplicated tasks will always have the same custom fields as the original tasks, but you can check this box to copy data from the original tasks to the new tasks.
Note
Custom fields inherited from top-level folders, projects, and spaces won’t be copied if you change the project location when duplicating.
-
Reschedule 13: Leave this box unchecked to make the item dates identical to the scheduled dates in the original project. Check this box to set the start date of the first task, due date of the last task, or dates of another selected task in the project. All other items will be rescheduled accordingly, maintaining the original time/date intervals and dependencies between them.
-
-
(Optional) check Add another 14 so that the dialog box remains open and you can duplicate another project (you can configure each project differently using this option).
-
Click Duplicate 15.
Note
The date picker in the Duplication dialog (for copying items and launching Blueprints) uses a standard calendar, showing Saturday and Sunday as non-working days. It does not support custom work schedules. If you select a non-working day based on your account’s work schedule, Wrike automatically reschedules the created tasks to the nearest working day.
