        copyAutomations:
          description: Copy the source project automations. Defaults to true.
          type: boolean
        copyDataModel:
          description: >-
            Copy the source project data model (categories, fields, tag
            options). Defaults to true.
          type: boolean
        copyFromProjectId:
          description: >-
            When provided, copies structure from the specified project into the
            new one. Which parts are copied is controlled by the copy* flags
            below (all default to true, so omitting them copies everything, as
            before). Takes precedence over seedFromTemplate.
          type: string
        copySkills:
          description: >-
            Copy the source project skills (and skill folders). Defaults to
            true.
          type: boolean
        copyViews:
          description: >-
            Copy the source project saved views. Requires copyDataModel.
            Defaults to true.
          type: boolean
        name:
          description: Display name for the new project
          type: string
        seedFromTemplate:
          description: >-
            Seed the new project from the workspace default-template project
            (data model, saved views, and dashboards). Ignored when
            copyFromProjectId is set. Defaults to false — an omitted flag yields
            a blank project.
