Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/7272

Description

Currently, if a task is duplicated, only the property of the card is duplicated, but not the collab document associated with the task, which can be counter intuitive.

This is typically useful for users who wants to setup a template task that they can duplicate subsequently. So if we don't want to change the current behavior, the other alternative could be providing the ability to quickly create a task on Kanban that has a predefined text/markdown template for the document.

Impact

Users who wants to setup a template task that they can duplicate subsequently.

I agree 100%! I came across this very same issue today...

I create a card for a task and added some info, then decided to separate the sub-TODO items in the document into their own task cards.

I duplicated the initial card, thinking the text inside would be copied over into the other cards, and deleted the text in the original. To my dismay, the duplicated cards didn't contain the text, and I couldn't back to restore the old text because Appflowy doesn't have a File History function for documents (as far as I know)... 😰
