Is this a feature for the backend or frontend?

Backend

What would you like?

The ability to create templates or duplicate projects, boards, lists, and cards would make Planka much faster and more efficient to use.
It would let users quickly reuse existing workflows instead of recreating the same structures each time.

Why is this needed?

Many teams work with recurring project types that follow the same structure.
Having templates or duplication options would save time, keep workflows consistent, and make Planka ideal for professional use.

For example, I often manage similar projects with identical lists and cards — being able to clone or reuse a “template board” would be a huge improvement.

Other information

I’m using the latest self-hosted version, and everything else in Planka works perfectly.
Adding this feature would make it one of the best self-hosted project management tools available.

Thanks for the great work! 🙌

Definitely would like a way to copy projects and boards. I would be able to create hidden template projects I could duplicate then more the boards to exiting projects when I need a similar project structure.
