Clone/copy a card #1813

Description

@Nyco

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When a user wants to:

  • split a card
  • copy the same card in another stack or board (for optional later editing)

the only option is to manually:

  • go to the card
  • edit the description
  • copy all
  • close editing
  • create a new card
  • edit the description
  • paste

It is very long as this needs lots of tiny steps. => A lot of time could be saved here.

Describe the solution you'd like
The meatballs menu ("...") of the card may add an action/icon "Clone card".
The result may be a second card immediately created right below the original.
Optionally, the newly created card could be in editing mode.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Button location
The "Clone card" action/icon could be located in the card detail on the rightmost area/column of the browser.

Where to
When cloning a card, options could be shown to the user:
Clone card to:

  • same board:
    • same stack:
      • below original card
      • above original card
      • top of stack
      • bottom of stack
    • other stack:
      • top of stack
      • bottom of stack
  • other board

But that may be be too much, smart defaults are cool, and principle of least surprise is better.

Content
It could be possible to let the user choose what to clone:

  • tags
  • assignees
  • date
  • attachments
  • comments
  • timeline
