It would be great if you could have some sort of copy feature on every card. Go to the card, click copy, and the new card would be ready for edit with all the properties of the “copied” card. Then you just need to edit those few properties or description on the new card instead of reentering them all.

Although it is not explicitly called ‘copy’ we do already have something very similar to what you request.

Go to the card that you want to ‘copy’ and select ‘edit’, at the top of the card next to ‘save’ you will see the option to ‘save and add another’, by selecting the ‘save and add another’ option the ‘other’ card created will have the same properties as the original. The new card can then be edited and saved as normal.

I hope this gets you some way to what you want. As always information on how to improve this would be gratefully received.

Thanks Suzie

What I’d like is that when you click on a card in the grid view and the popup appears, you get an “actions” clicky thing that gives you:

  • Open (as you already have now)
  • Copy (with the option to right click to open a new window that gets you where the sequence of actions you describe takes you now)
  • Edit (in place—opens a modal dialogue box to edit the card in-place, such that when you save it, the grid view gets updated). This feature would really make my life easier.

Thanks,

Jez.

Suzie,

This suggestions works for me. I would still like to see an explicit ‘Copy’ button or action like Jez suggested.

Thanks for the help!
