API- Copy/Duplicate tasks

[KobiDa]

Hi, I'm working with the API for some time now and i there is a question that i can't find an answer to. How can i duplicate a task more than once with one call (bulk duplicate/copy)? I managed to copy it with the copyBulk action but only one by one (tried to put the task ID twice in the list but it get's denied). In the documentation it states that it's possible to use copySourceID for some objects but it's not supported by task or project (which the example use proj...), if you could show me a way to do so with tasks that will be great. Another question is what is the purpose of the options argument in the copyBulk/moveBulk action (under task), can i set the name of the duplicated task over there and parameterValues? Thanks.
