Profit.co lets you clone a task-tracked Key Result along with its associated tasks — reusing an existing OKR and task structure so you can replicate proven setups across teams or cycles without rebuilding from scratch.

Quick Answer
To clone a task-tracked Key Result, navigate to OKRs, click the More icon (⋯) next to the KR, and select Clone. In the pop-up, choose the task attributes you want to carry over (Assignees, Priority, Status, Tags, KR associations, etc.). Profit.co automatically creates a new board named "Board Name (Copy)" with duplicated tasks assigned unique IDs.
What is KR Cloning for Task-Tracked Key Results?
Cloning a task-tracked Key Result creates a complete duplicate of the KR along with its associated task board. The cloned KR gets its own independent board — named "Board Name (Copy)" — and each task receives a new, unique task ID, making the clone fully separate from the original.
Users can control which task attributes carry over during the clone: Assignees, Priority, Status, Tags, KR associations, and more.
Why KR Cloning Matters
By using this feature, you can bring the same tasks that were associated with the original Key Result directly into the cloned KR — no manual re-linking required.
Instead of creating similar OKRs and tasks from scratch, you can reuse an existing structure and carry forward only the task details that are relevant to the new KR's context.
How It Works (Step-by-Step Guide)
Step 1: Navigate to OKRs
- Go to the OKRs module and locate the task-tracked Key Result you want to clone.
- Click on the More icon (⋯) next to the Key Result.
- Select Clone from the dropdown menu, then click OKRs with Task to include the associated tasks in the clone.
Step 2: Select Task Attributes to Clone
- A pop-up appears asking: "What would you like to clone?"
- Select the task attributes you want to carry forward — options include: Assignees, Priority, Status, Tags, KR associations, and more.
Step 3: Confirm and Review the Cloned KR
- Profit.co automatically creates a new board named "Board Name (Copy)" with all selected task details duplicated.
- Each task in the new board is assigned a fresh, unique task ID.
- The cloned KR appears on the OKRs list page with progress starting at zero.
Cloning Behavior: Before vs. After the Update
The scope of what gets cloned depends on how the task is associated:
| Task Association | What Gets Cloned |
|---|---|
| Task associated with a Workspace | The entire workspace is cloned along with the board and all tasks |
| Task associated with a Board inside an existing Workspace | Only the board is cloned; it remains within the same workspace |
Best Practices for Cloning Task-Tracked Key Results
- Review task attribute selections carefully before confirming — only carry forward attributes (Assignees, Priority, Status) that are directly relevant to the new KR's context.
- Rename the cloned board immediately after creation; the default name "Board Name (Copy)" is a placeholder and should reflect the new KR's scope.
- Reassign task owners in the cloned board to the team responsible for the new KR, especially if Assignees were carried over from the original.
- Verify that the cloned KR's progress shows zero before sharing it with the team — confirm no carry-over from the original.
- Use cloning to replicate proven KR structures across departments, then adjust task details (deadlines, priorities) to fit the new period's goals rather than building from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The cloned KR retains the progress of the original KR.
Yes. If the task is associated with a workspace, the entire workspace is cloned. If the task belongs to a board within an existing workspace, only that board is cloned within the same workspace.
Yes. The attribute selection pop-up allows you to proceed without selecting any attributes, giving you a clone with task structure but no inherited details from the original.
