3.From the Duplicate Item's pop-up window, decide which options you want to copy along with the Item details.
Duplicate relationships from the original item: This option will copy all current relationships. For example if you have an item 'B' that is related to item 'A' and item 'C' both upstream and downstream (A -->B -->C). If you copied 'B' and it's relationships you would end up with a new item 'D' that looked like this - (A-->D-->C)
Duplicate tags from the original item: This option will copy all of the tags. Going forward any tags that are added or removed on one item will not affect the other.
Create a new Relationship to the Selected Item: This option will create a relationship to the original item.
Duplicate all sub-items, if any: This option will duplicate the selected item along with all of its sub-items.
4.Select the destination of where you want the copied Item to go within the applicable Project, Component, Set, and Folder.

Note: You can only duplicate Items to Sets of the same Item Type.  For example, if you have two requirement Sets in a Project created  from the same Item Type then you can duplicate and move Items between these Sets. Sub-items can also only have the same Item Type as their parent.
