If you need to add a Helix ALM issue, test case, test run, or workbook task with the same basic information as another item of the same type, save time by duplicating the existing item and then editing the new one.
Note: You can also duplicate requirements and requirement documents currently assigned to you in the Workbook list window, but you can only modify the duplicated items in Helix ALM. See the Helix ALM help for information about duplicating requirements and requirement documents.
1. Right-click the item to duplicate in a Helix ALM list window and choose Duplicate.
If you are duplicating a workbook task, the task is duplicated and added to the workbook. Continue with step 7.
If you are duplicating an issue, test case, or test run, the Duplicate Options dialog box opens.
2. Select Link duplicated item with original to link the new item with the original item.
See the Helix ALM help for information about linking items and link definitions.
3. Select Identify original item in system comment to add a system comment to the Workflow tab on the new item that indicates the original item number and summary.
4. If you are duplicating an issue, select Identify original issue in Description text to add a line to the Description field of the new issue that indicates the original issue number and summary.
5. Select the information to copy from the original item.
The available options depend on your security permissions. Information you select to copy from the original item is displayed on the corresponding tab in the new item. Folder information copies the new item to the same folders as the original if you have access to the folders.
Note: You can only copy links if only one item is selected for duplication.
6. Click OK.
The item is duplicated and assigned the next available number in the project.
7. Modify the duplicated item and save the changes.
