Are all column values preserved in the duplicate?

Yes, the duplicated item retains all column values from the original — status, dates, people, numbers, text, and more. It's a full copy, not just the item name.

Are subitems duplicated as well?

The action duplicates the parent item. Subitem duplication depends on your board settings. Check your board's subitem configuration to confirm behavior.

Can I duplicate to a group on a different board?

This action duplicates within the same board to a different group. To copy items to a different board, use the Write Value to Connected Board Column action or monday.com's native move/create actions.

Action

Duplicate Item to Group

“Duplicate an item to another group on the same board”

Create a copy of an item in a different group when a trigger fires. Column values are preserved, making it easy to clone items across workflow stages.

Use Cases

Clone a template item into the 'Active' group when a new project kicks off

Duplicate completed items to an 'Archive' group while keeping the original

Copy a request item to the 'In Progress' group when it's approved

Real-World Example

Your board has a 'Templates' group with pre-configured items for different project types. When a new project is requested, this action duplicates the matching template item into the 'Active Projects' group — complete with all default values, assignments, and dates — ready for the team to start work.
