You can copy and paste a node to create duplicate nodes when creating many similar tasks.
Scenario example
Consider a scenario that requires 10 tasks for checking 10 valves in parallel. The tasks differ in that each valve has a different name. You can create the first task, and then duplicate it with automatic text substitution.
