Copying a task

Clone in the task modal asks where the copy should go. The current project starts ticked, so copying in place is one confirmation; tick more and you get a copy in each, made in one action.

The copy brings the sub-tasks under it, in order, and the tags, both of which can be unticked. It always brings the detail, the priority, the type and its answers, the assignees and the attachments.

What it leaves behind is the original's history: the payout approval, the recurrence group it belonged to, who last changed its status. Tags are per project, so a copy landing elsewhere gets a tag of the same name made in its own project rather than pointing at the original's — which is why copying them is a choice: a tag that means something in one project can be noise in the next. Assignees who cannot reach the target project are left off — a task assigned to somebody who cannot open it looks handled and is not. A contract id never travels to another project, because that would bill one client for another's work.

The title only gets "Copy of" in front when a task of that name is already in the project it lands in.
