Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same feature request.

Description

Problem:
Currently there is no native way in Vikunja to duplicate a bucket. This makes it difficult to reuse workflows, create templates, or quickly copy tasks between lists/projects without manually recreating them.

Proposed Solution:
Add the ability to:

Duplicate List
• Option in bucket context menu: Duplicate
• Allow user to:
• Set new bucket name (default: “Copy of …”)
• Choose destination project
• Optionally include tasks and metadata (labels, attachments, comments, assignees, subtasks)
See example functionality available in Trello:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fbaeaa75-0647-4f6b-865b-1347d27d29c7

Benefits:
• Enables reusable workflows/templates
• Faster task management across projects
• Reduces manual duplication effort

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

See above.

So you mean the kanban bucket, not the project?

So, for context, here is my understanding of mapping between Trello and Vikunja:
Board (Trello) = Project (Vikunja)
List (Trello) = Bucket (Vikunja)
Card (Trello) = Card (Vikunja)

So yes, to answer your question! :)

I have updated the title and description to align terminology.
