Copy a folder

Description

Creates a new folder by copying a source folder (template_id) into a target project. By default only the folder shell is copied; enable the copy_* flags to duplicate its task lists, tasks, and their details.

Required: name, template_id (the source folder), and project_id.

Copy flags

Copying cascades through levels: enable copy_task_lists to bring over the folder's task lists, then copy_open_tasks / copy_closed_tasks to bring over their tasks, then the per-task flags to bring over task details. All copy_* flags default to false.

Flag(s) Prerequisite Notes
copy_task_lists The "task lists" gate
copy_open_tasks, copy_closed_tasks copy_task_lists The "tasks" gate
copy_task_comments, copy_task_description, copy_task_subscribers, copy_task_attachments copy_open_tasks or copy_closed_tasks
copy_task_open_todos, copy_task_closed_todos copy_open_tasks or copy_closed_tasks
copy_task_open_subtasks, copy_task_closed_subtasks copy_open_tasks or copy_closed_tasks
copy_task_dependencies copy_open_tasks or copy_closed_tasks
copy_assignees, copy_tags, copy_due_date, copy_start_date, copy_repeat, copy_estimate copy_open_tasks or copy_closed_tasks
copy_custom_fields copy_open_tasks or copy_closed_tasks Task custom field values

Enabling tasks without copy_task_lists returns 422 (task_lists_required); enabling any per-task flag without a tasks gate returns 422 (tasks_required).
