Copy a folder
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.
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).
