Copying and Pasting Structure Items

Use

Copies of structure items can only be added at the same level as the "original" structure item. All subnodes and the following assignments are automatically copied if they were assigned to the original structure item:

BP transactions
Answers to questions
Content of CI templates
All links to SAP documentation
Links to attached project documentation
Scope information
Filter properties

Information on the owner, status, and global attributes is not automatically copied. When you copy a structure item, the status is automatically set to Not yet processed.
