Description

Hello, is there an easy way to create a copy of a work item, or should I create a new element using the CreateWorkItem method and fill in all its fields by reading from the source element?

Start with the work-item API methods, especially CreateWorkItem, and inspect whether an operation exists for copying an existing item. Compare the available fields and operations; done means establishing and documenting whether copying is supported directly or requires reading and recreating the source item.
