Duplicate a portfolio with fresh, unconnected copies of all projects

Request:

As a Program Manager, I frequently need to replicate entire portfolios for new program cycles. Currently, there is no way to duplicate a portfolio and have its projects copied as fresh, standalone projects — instead, any duplicated projects remain connected to the originals.

What I’d like:

A “Duplicate Portfolio” option that creates a new portfolio with independent copies of all included projects, with no connections to the original portfolio or its projects.

Why it matters:

Without this, I have to manually duplicate each project one by one and add them to a new portfolio individually. For large portfolios like training execution playbooks with 20+ projects, this is extremely time-consuming and error-prone. I also attempted to use Asana AI to help navigate this process, but it did not resolve the issue and actually created additional complications, further highlighting the need for a native solution.

Workaround I’m currently using:

Manually duplicating each project individually and adding them to a newly created portfolio via “+ Add work.” This is extremely time consuming and not user friendly. It’s confusing many of my teams of 100+ stakeholders.

YES PLEASE :clap:t2::clap:t2::clap:t2::clap:t2::clap:t2: THIS is what “duplicating portfolios” should have been all along!

I have to set up planning Roadmaps and Campaigns each year, the same 20 portfolios, 30 projects, bundles, people… If I can duplicate a full portfolio (or have a portfolio template that connects with project templates and bundles) this would be a BREEZE. Currently it takes me weeks to complete.

Agreed!! I create “master” portfolios with projects in them that hold important project and launch templates. If I could duplicate the whole portfolio along with the projects inside, that would save me WEEKS of time! Fingers crossed for a product update :crossed_fingers:
