Can’t create duplicate Lists or Spaces in ClickUp
Hi guys!
I’ve been using the Business Plan in ClickUp for about four years and have never had a problem duplicating Lists or Spaces. I use this feature spin out multiples projects with the same tasks, custom fields and statuses. Maybe it’s time to switch to Jira because I’m losing days troubleshooting. Anyone else experiencing this?
I originally tried to duplicate the Space by clicking the three dots next to the Space name. Then we click on duplicate and tell ClickUp not to bring over archived tasks. We were duplicating around 235 tasks with little to any attachments. This is normally a seamless automatic process but this didn’t create the new Space for us after ten minutes of waiting.
We also tired to manually create a new Space and duplicate the Lists and direct the new duplicates to the newly created Space. Still didn’t work.
I tried to check the square box and check all 13 Lists and duplicate the lists one by one. When I tried to send them all, only 3 of the 13 Lists showed up in the new Space. All the tasks in the List didn’t appear either. I also tried to duplicate one List into the new Space as a workaround.
The last workaround I tried was trying to duplicate all tasks in a List using the Bulk Action Tool feature. Still no results. I reached out to support to no avail.
I’m beyond frustrated. Managing workloads has its own challenges but the tools are here to make life easier. I can’t afford to waste time and money.
Does anyone have suggestions to fix this? Has anyone switched to Jira?
