To copy a project or request

To create a project or request that is similar to an existing one, you can copy that existing project or request. You can make the copy when the project or request is in any state, including before or after you submit a request. You can then edit the copied project or request as needed. To copy a project you must have the appropriate security permission.

Navigate to the Summary tab of the project or request you want to copy.

Click the Copy icon (

The Copy to dialog box opens.

Select either the project or the project template as the source of the metrics to use in the new project.

If the project you selected to copy is linked to a parent program or project, choose whether the same relationship link applies to the new project:

Select Copy parent program link to copy the parent program link.

Select Copy parent project link to copy the parent project link.

Click OK.

The Summary tab opens for the new project or request. The name defaults to Copy of original project name.

Modify any information you want to change in the copy, including the default name, and click Save Changes.

The new project or request appears in your All Projects and Requests view and your My Projects or My Requests view. Projects are created with Not Started status; requests with Draft status.
