Use Save As

Use the Actions > Save As to create new objects based on existing objects.

For example, you can use it to create a quality action from a quality issue, copying over all attachments and affected objects. Default or out-of-the-box attributes visible on the screen are copied to the new quality object, and the old issue or action is automatically added as a related object. You can select both the object type and the workflow during the Save As process. Remember that a newly created issue or action is always in the Draft status. The Description field in the Save As dialog is read-only and the text displays in rich text format.

Note: You can't do a Save As for production exceptions, since you can log them only from manufacturing.
