Copy/Duplicate Task on Mobile

I’ve literally been waiting years for this to happen! It’s now 2024! Can we please have this feature added?! I keep coming up with blocks in my workflow as I work on my mobile device most mornings and it KILLS my productivity and creative flow. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add this feature finally! I NEVER go to the desktop right away JUST to duplicate a task. It is such a blocker to not be able to duplicate a task on mobile.

Hello,

I feel like I am duplicating what everyone else has said, but that is the only duplicating I can do unless I am dragging my laptop around.

I travel for a living and I dont want to be taking my laptop everywhere I go. Please add the duplicate feature on the mobile app. This is a really important feature.

It would also be great to add a section for task templates. Then I can duplicate a task without the risk of deleting data from another.

Thanks :blush:

What’s needed to get this feature added? This topic was brought up and voted on 5 years ago

This is insane- how is this not an available function on the app by now?! Asana I am very disappointed. I pay plenty of money for my team to have this service, perhaps I should be looking elsewhere if you can’t even add such a basic, vital function to your app after people have been requesting it literally for YEARS.

Wow. They’ve been “working on” this for nearly eight years. Really late to the PM tools offerings.

This is pretty shocking such an important basic feature for a lot of people and they won’t listen… incredibly weird and frustrating.

Came here to say that this issue illustrates a pattern I’ve seen since we started using Asana. When there’s a feature we want that Asana seemingly lacks, I search to make sure I’m not missing something. And almost every time, I come across an Asana forum post like this one: created many years ago, where the latest reply is from the last few weeks and has someone pointing out that this request has been open for years without movement.

How is something so simple, requested 6 and a half years ago, still not available?

Bump. Please vote for this feature!

I would also like to see this feature, along with being able to add a Task Template for my mobile. Both features are still not available.

Bump. This is a key requirement for any one who templates tasks that need to be created on the fly. For example we use for maintenance issues in property management where we have to record elsewhere when on-site and then create the tasks on the web portal when back in the office which is mad.

Given this is now 8 years old I can only assume this is a fundamental architecture issue with the mobile apps but it would good to know if this is just a prioritisation issue or something fundamental that is too costly to change.

Desperately need this function too. Is Asana even reading this thread?

7 years and nearly 200 upvotes and still not added. This is why I am using Asana less and less and starting to seek alternatives. Lazy.

Just came here to say it’s November 2025 and still nothing. Am I missing something? Is there a way to turn this on that I’m missing?

How is there even a “follow up on task” option but still no duplicate? I would think this is a similar functionality.

The recurring due dates are the closest I’ve been able to get to duplicating a task, but that has quickly proven to not be a viable option for my situation.

With all the advanced features and AI in the world, I’d at least like to understand why we can’t get a simple duplicate feature extended to the app. Is it too complicated? Is there a data privacy hurdle? Is it being added to a paid tier? Is no one in product/dev receiving feature feedback? Is it somehow the absolute lowest priority? Is it on the roadmap for 2030? Does it need more votes somewhere? Does it need to be demanded more by enterprise accounts who are going to switch their contracts to another productivity/project management tool? What will it take to get this? I would volunteer my time for free to do whatever work needed to be done to accomplish this.

Apologies for the rant, but please Asana, please. From the bottom of our efficiency deprived hearts, please add this to mobile. I literally want nothing more than this one simple feature.

Problem is still evident from testing the mobile app. Seems to be affecting a lot of users so would be good to get this resolved enabling those users who leverage the mobile app on phones or tablets to be able to duplicate tasks.
