Issue/Introduction

I am attempting to use the "Copy Task from Template" feature in Classic or PPM Gantt, to copy a duplicate of the Task into the same Project, however it does not work.

Environment

Release : 15.x, 16.x

Cause

The Task has a Task ID associated to it, which must be unique. When a Task is copied, the Task ID is copied too.

Resolution

The Task ID must be removed from the Task.
