Creates a copy of an existing task in the same project. The duplicated task keeps the source task configuration such as type, status, description, priority, assignee, accountable person, tags, custom fields, guest access, and task products. The new task title gets a ` (Copy)` suffix. Accepts either a UUID or a numeric short number (with or without `#` prefix). Organization members can only duplicate tasks with guest access enabled.
