Duplicating a List
Duplicating a list creates a copy of the list and all the todos inside it — useful when you use a consistent checklist structure for repeating work such as a release checklist or a client onboarding list.

How to duplicate a list

- 2

Click the … (more options) menu on the list header.
- 3
Select Duplicate List
The duplicate is created immediately. The new list name starts with "Copy of …".

What is copied vs not copied
Copied
- ✓ List name (+ "Copy of")
- ✓ All todos in the list
- ✓ Todo titles, descriptions, priority, tags
- ✓ Due dates and start dates
- ✓ Subtasks (checkboxes reset)
Not copied
- — Todo comments
- — Todo dependencies
- — Watcher lists
- — Recurrence settings
- — Milestone assignments
When to use list vs milestone duplication
If your project uses milestones, consider using milestone duplication instead — it copies all todos linked to a milestone and handles date shifting automatically. List duplication is best for lists that are not tied to a specific milestone or date range.
