    Result

    A copy of the selected work item is created, with the information in the required fields copied over. This new work item is added to the same section as the original. For example, if you created a copy of a Story from the Backlog section, then the copied story is added to the Backlog section.

This feature requires activating the Write planning item skill of Now Assist for SPM. For more information, see Configure Now Assist for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM).
