You can copy a query and rename the copy to create a new query. This is useful when you want to create a query that is similar to an existing complex query. Copying the Quick Query creates a named query that can be shared with others.
Prerequisites
Before you copy a query, ensure that you have the following:
• CreateQuery permission
• Visibility permissions for the item types and fields you want to query on. Visibility rules restrict access to specific information based on project and/or item type.
For further assistance, contact your administrator.
Key Considerations
• By default, the original query definition is referenced in the new query as a subquery so that any changes to the original query definition are reflected in the new query. If you want to create a static copy of the query, do the following on the Definition tab:
◦ In the GUI, select the Copy Query option.
◦ In the Web interface, select Set definition to copy the original query.
• A copied favorite (
) or non-favorite (
) query becomes a favorite when you save the new query.
• Sharing information is not copied. You can copy sharing information by clicking Copy Principals on the Sharing tab.
• You cannot share a query to the everyone group unless you are an administrator or you have the ShareToEveryone permission. For more information, contact your administrator.
