Copy a task

Need the ability to copy a task, including the checklists and other items within the task. This would allow one to set up a template task, then create many tasks using that template task. This is a different request than the many copy suggestions that have been made already.

Copy task is now available in Planner! To use, click on a task’s details menu and select “Copy task”.

I really wish MS Admins for user voice would start posting in a response, when we can reasonably expect another update on these requests. Or provide some insight into the prioritization of items in each phase. Thinking About, Planned, Started. etc.

When is the expected available date -- it's a pain to copy my checklist over and over again. I'm sure you know Trello has this feature which is very user-friendly.

Is there a thread to track movement on this? most other features make it desirable to me, but without a copy feature, i simply cannot waste my time! unfortunate!

Would like to identify repeating tasks that need to be completed on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly basis.

The lack of this feature is pretty fundamental. It is what is preventing me from recommending we use planner for copy wide team projects
