[feature]: Recursive Copying
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
Summary
Copying a work item should have an option to copy all of the work items under it
Why should this be worked on?
When adding many similar tasks (example: a set of tasks "feat1|feat2|feat3" being worked on by a set of teams - "frontend|backend|ux"), right now adding such task sets can be a chore. There is an option to copy a work item, which would theoretically be very useful for this (make a feat1 task, create subtasks for each team, then copy it a few times), but it does not actually copy subtasks.
If this is considered generically useful I can try to take a look at implementing this! I know our team would massively benefit from this, but wanted to gauge if anyone else would 😊
@Wizzerinus Thanks for the suggestion! We'll definitely discuss this with our product team and consider it in future planning.
That said, we’d like to highlight that a similar feature is already available in our commercial offering—called Work Item Templates. With this feature, you can define templates that include sub work items, and when a template is imported into a work item, all associated sub work items are automatically included.
