I want to manually triggered a Flow (button) that would copy and existing planner bucket (within the same plane) but with a different name.

So you would end up with two identical buckets with identical tasks/details/assignments etc, but the bucket is named differently.

Does anyone know if this is achievable? and if so how

Duplicate a bucket within a Microsoft Planner Plan

I've tested creating a flow that could help you:

1. Create a Template To-Do List in MS Planner with one bucket and list your tasks ("Template To-Do List" - I had to create a to-do list in the opposite order than I'd be using)

2. Create a TEST To-Do List in MS Planner that you'll be adding the duplicate bucket & tasks to ("TEST - Grant App To-Do List")

3. In Power Automate, follow creating the manual, cloud flow shown below

- Under Create a bucket, the name of the bucket will always be the same, but is easy to edit within the bucket heading in MS Planner

- Under Create a task, tie the output to the task value, tie the title to the task value Title and tie the Id to the Bucket Id

4. Save and Test running the flow

5. If successful, you can manually run this flow multiple times for as many buckets you need with the same tasks listed
