Copying Nodes
Node copying allows one to quickly create repetitive or similar set of issues within your Hierarchy. To copy a Node, click Actions next to a corresponding Node, then select Copy in the dropdown menu. This would create a deep copy of the original Node and add it under the original Root or Parent Node. For convenience, copied Nodes are marked with a “Copy - “ keyword in their Summary.
Moving Nodes
To move a Node within a Hierarchy, click Actions button next to a corresponding Node, and select Move. This action opens up a Move dialog (see screenshot).
Under the Parent node please select a Node under which you’d like to move the current Node or select None in case current Node doesn’t need a Parent Node.
Under the Nearest node select a Node, which is located as close as possible to the desired position.
If Parent Node is not set to “None“ and there are no Child Nodes, then only the First Child option would be available under the Nearest node dropdown.Under Insert select the desired position relative to the Nearest node.
Click Move to perform the movement.
