Copying Tasks for Multilingual Quotes

I am trying to give Smart Projects another chance. I searched for this issue in the forum but couldn't find a matching topic. Is there no way to copy a task (receivables) from one language down to 10 more? It seems quite tedious to do it manually 10 times.

Unfortunately there is no way of copying receivables in the smart project currently. If you are using any CAT tool you should be able to use CAT analysis to automatically create receivables per each language combination.

I was just wondering the same thing.

It takes forever to create a proofreading receivable for 20+ languages. Our client's rates are an hourly rate, so I do not think I can pull this from the analysis. I was starting to switch to Smart projects because in Classic projects, I will be getting 20+ memoQ projects for 1 XTRF project. But adding the receivables is really not efficient in Smart projects. Adding buttons like "Copy to all languages" would be really helpful.

I'm curious if the users requesting this have found workaround since this is still not natively supported.

We are looking to solve this problem by generating payables in bulk, and then copying them over to the receivables for each language pair (and of course applying the client's rates). This is also not natively supported, so custom macros will required to simulate the functionality. Native support would be strongly preferred of course.
