This worked! Open your template to use, select the drop-down menu next to the title of your template, and choose “Save as template”.
This is a great work around, thank, you Bijendra_Tandel!
So many people need this, and it’s been requested so many times over the past 2 years and it’s still not added?

Found this 2 year old thread, thought for sure I would scroll down and find a solution - I’m shocked this hasn’t been implemented yet!

Can this please be implemented soon? Also shocked nothing has happened in 2 years!

Desperate for this feature as well.

Also would like to see this feature. It feels pretty basic, and to take this long seems to be a choice by Asana not to do it rather than just a matter of time. Can other tools do this better?

Creating a project from the template and then turning the project into a new template is a decent workaround for something you’ll do rarely (that’s my opinion at least). By I agree it feels pretty basic.

Completely agree with you - I’ve only needed to do it twice, and wasted so much time searching how to duplicate it, because it seems like such a no brainer!
I love asana but I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since this topic has come up and they still haven’t added duplicating a template feature. It’s such an important and time saver.

I cannot disagree more… perhaps in a narrow view of how templates and projects should interact with one anther, but I have some templates that are 100 tasks long with subtasks etc… What do you suggest when I need to use a version that has about 5 small but fundamental differences on a different project for instance. How on earth does copying the existing template to make those 5 small revisions to deploy instead of rebuilding from scratch introduce redundancies?
For that reason I would like Modular Templates over duplicating project templates, as this would achieve the same goal without creating the redundancy.
I would very much appreciate this feature! I can use an existing template to create a project and then save, but I don’t want the entire team getting alerts when I’m still working on this. I’ll remove everyone but still. A simple ask, surely, Asana?

Is this feature still not available?
Added my vote as well, please add a duplication feature. I recently completed Asana Super User training within my organization, and realized that a use case I’d been handling through Projects (campaigns) with 5 Sections (functional work areas) of Tasks and Subtasks would be more effectively handled by a Portfolio (campaign) with Projects (functional work areas) of Sections and Tasks. This will allow every functional area that contributes to the campaign to have its own Project layout and columns based on what makes sense for that type of work, and reduce our reliance on sub-tasks.
I was hoping to start by making copies of the Project template I’ve been using and then delete from each copy all but one functional area’s worth of predefined Project Roles, Task Templates, etc. and then tailor from there, so I wouldn’t have to redo all the defining of roles and task templates. I see now I’ll have to start by making 5 projects, but I’m sure stuff like this is bound to come up again, so please do add this functionality.
wow, shocked to see this hasn’t been implemented yet. Crazy. Are we making a mistake using software that doesn’t get updated?
