Copies a task list

Description

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

Required: name, template_id (the source task list), project_id, and the target folder_id.

Copy flags

All copy_* flags default to false. Every flag below requires the "tasks" gate — at least one of copy_open_tasks / copy_closed_tasks.

Flag(s) Prerequisite Notes
copy_open_tasks, copy_closed_tasks 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 any dependent flag without a tasks gate returns 422 (tasks_required).
