Once the modal has opened, check the following information:
Name (Required): By default, the name will be filled as “Clone + name of the current board”, but you can rename it anytime. It should not match any existing board names.
Labels (Optional): By default, the board being cloned will inherit the labels from the original board. You can select and deselect how many labels you want or create new ones before cloning the board. For more information regarding labels, visit our documentation about them HERE.

📝 Important Tips:
Filling required fields is mandatory to create a new board. To avoid duplication, consider choosing an unique name for your board. If you leave the field “Name” blank or choose a name that is already in use, a message will be displayed according to the situation:
Cloning a board will make you the owner of the cloned board. Therefore, you will have administrative privileges even if you’ve assigned another user(s) as admin(s).
