There are instances where I need to create a group of tasks, with subitems, and updates and just duplicate it multiple times (same reoccurring tasks on a month to month basis). I would love to not have to go in and remove the “(copy)” it places on each task at the end of the task name. I can’t believe that as I continue to duplicate something it adds more and more “(copy)” - there should be another duplicate option where you can choose not to have everything marked as a copy.
I have this problem as well. I am using the Column Magic app to do this. They have a free plan for 100 ops a month but their higher plans are rather cheap I think it’s like $9 for 1000 ops a month. Also a ton of other useful recipes. I do wish Monday would do this naturally but this is a nice work around.
Hey!
We have a small internal app - Remove (copy) suffix.
It is quite simple, there is just one automation you add to the board:
And done. It’s that simple.
App is in the process of review so it will be published in the marketplace. It will remain fully free.
So yeah, hope I helped!

it’s fixed now you can use this
Remove Copy
Hi all,
We created this walkthrough about how to achieve this for item names and subitem names. You can find it here: Removing "(copy)" when items or subitems are duplicated.
Let me know if that helps.
