## Description

### Context

This feature extends the bug fix in <mention class="mention" data-id="45533" data-type="work_package" data-text="#45533">\#45533</mention> and is still under specification.

**Current behaviour without present feature:**

  - *Project copy*
      - preserves relations between copied WPs in- and outside copied project
          - A → B → C, when copied, becomes A' → B' → C'
      - does *not* retain relation between original and copied 
          - A' is not related to A, B' is not related to B...
  - *Bulk copy*
      - preserves relations between copied items
      - does *not* retain relation between original and copied 
          - A' is not related to A, B' is not related to B...
  - Individual copy
      - does not preserve existing relations
      - *does* create relation with original (A -\> A')

### Acceptance criteria

  - *Project copy*
      - continue to preserve relations between copied WPs in- and outside copied project
          - A → B → C, when copied, becomes A' → B' → C'
      - give users the option to create relation with the original work packages to their copies, such that A' is related to A, B' is related to B...
          - Do this by adding a check mark to project copy form: "Copied work packages should be related to their originals"
  - *Bulk copy*
      - continue to preserve relations between copied items
      - give users the option to create relation with the original work packages to their copies, such that A' is related to A, B' is related to B...
          - Do this by adding a check mark to project copy form: "Copied work packages should be related to their originals"
  - *Individual copy*
      - no change
