# Copy / Duplicate Items

> Duplicate challenges, rewards, achievements, and more — with date-field exclusion

Nudj's **Copy-an-Item** action (#1412) lets you duplicate any challenge, reward, achievement, or post in one click. It's the fastest way to reuse a proven pattern.

## How it works

On any item's row menu (or edit page) click **Duplicate**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy clones the item" icon="copy">
    All content fields, actions, rewards, tags, language translations — everything copies over.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Date fields are excluded" icon="calendar-xmark">
    Start / end dates are **not** copied from challenge templates (#2142) — you get a blank schedule, forcing you to pick a fresh window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Naming" icon="pen">
    New item gets a "(Copy)" suffix by default. Rename before saving.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Status" icon="toggle-on">
    Copy starts as **Draft** regardless of the source's status. You opt-in to Live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What copies, what doesn't

| Field                        | Copies?              |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------- |
| Title, description, image    | Yes                  |

| Status                       | No (starts as Draft) |
| Start / end dates            | No (#2142)           |
| Participants / earned-by     | No (fresh list)      |
| Analytics history            | No                   |

## Best practices

<Tip>
  **Always update the schedule** after duplicating. The date exclusion protects you, but you still need to pick fresh dates.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Review every translation** after copying. Auto-copied translations may not fit the new context (e.g. season references, time-sensitive copy).
