Move or Copy a task list to another project

Feedback comes in waves. The same feature is requested time and time again usually in the same couple of weeks.

Moving task lists from one project to another is one of them. Yesterday we added this feature to Teamwork.

No sooner was it released and the feedback started to pour in asking if it was possible to "Copy" the list instead of "Moving" it.

No problem. Today we rolled that feature out.

This also has a hidden benefit that may not be apparent right away. In Teamwork you can save any task list as a template. This only saves the names of the tasks, the estimated time, the descriptions and the privacy. There are good technical reasons for this.

Now, as you can copy any task list to any project, you can have a project set up to act as a "Template" which you can use if you need to create a new list with all the people assigned, due dates assigned etc

Hope this small but useful feature helps everyone! Send us a tweet and let us know what you think :-)

This rocks!
wait... WHAT? AIR App? Are you bringing a desktop app? Halleluhja.
Glad you like this new feature! Fairly tricky to do :-)
That list in the screenshot is a dummy list and doesn't mean anything. We have a project pre-filled out for screenshots :-)

This is great, but i need the ability to create an entire PROJECT Template. How can i accomplish this?

All of my projects have the same set of Milestones, Tasks, etc....

Am I missing an easy way to duplicate an entire Project Plan with ease?

Please help, i love everything else about your service.

Hi Dave,
Sure, Click Project Options and choose "Copy Project"

I need either the ability to have subtasks or to copy a tasklist to a tasklist within a projejct and at a certain point with the tasklist. This will allow the combining of two task lists or just one into a single tasklist.
Can I copy an existing project/task to a template. I can only figure out how to copy a template to a project.
How do I import a set of tasks that are in excel?
