I have created a small plugin that allows cloning of a project including all its dependencies.
It pops up within project maintenance where you can overwrite your default values if required.
I have attached it here and am awaiting your feedback/remarks/suggestions
The file manage_proj_clone.php which you will find inside the zip-file you need to copy to the root of your mantis installation.
In a future release i Will move that also to the pages directory of the plugin.
Thanks for your plugin.
I have installed it, but I faced a problem was that after I clicked the "clone project " button, it appeared an error message : A number was expected for project_id.
Thank you! It's work.
But I found another problem and wanted to ask about it.
I have "Copy Sub-Projects" checked but not "Copy Hierarchy"
I thought that Sub-Projects would be newly created, but it seems that only the main project was added, and no sub-projects were added, and the Hierarchy was still copied. (as my picture)
If I check "Copy Sub-Projects", should new sub-projects be created?
(But As far as I know, project names cannot be repeated)

Copy Hierarchy means (at least that is the intention) that if the project you clone is a sub-project, the cloned project should be created also as a sub-project. In all other cases it will be created as a top-level project..
As for copying sub-projects, this is possible within Mantisbt. A project can be a sub-project of multiple projects. Sub-project relationship is stored in the Hierarchy table which explains what yyou are seeing in the tables.
So in my view this is ccorect behavior ( once you understand what is meant with "copy hierarchy" ).
Hope this clarifies the behavior.
