      As a rule writer

      I want to copy and paste (clone) components within a rule

      So I can rapidly create rules which have repeated branches, conditions, and actions

       

      Acceptance criteria:

      • Branch, condition, and action components can be cloned
      • When a component is cloned, it is placed immediately below its source component
      • When a branch is cloned, the child components of the branch are also cloned
      • When a condition is cloned, the child components of the condition are also cloned
      • Bonus: cloning can occur manually by editing a JSON rule file, leaving the component identifiers blank, and then importing the rule for a project.

      Business case:

      The user interface for rule automation allows rapid creation of rules in most ways, except for adding components.  When rules have a repeated pattern, there is no work-around other than to add each component, one by one.  Providing a component clone feature will dramatically speed up the creation of such rules.

       

      ***

      Add an option to copy automation rules between projects - 

      We have 200+ projects mapped to our different clients, one project per client.

      Each of these projects have the same automation rule set that is currently manually applied to them one by one.

      An option to create the rule once and them copy it to another project will be very helpful.

            Same! Saw it for a few minutes when I was spinning up some new automations, then couldn't find it again and became super sad again.

            Very exciting though!

            This worked for me last week, and now no more working..? I was able to  duplicate a component and move it around. Now I can only delete it

            Thank you c48be19ba6feand 8f52d8e96f65 for your responses. I agree I misunderstood the distinct issues and have changed the link between the two tickets to "relates to".

            I have recently migrated a large number of Automation tickets that had been misfiled in other projects, into the Automation for Cloud project. I expect there will be some duplicates so please feel free to @ me if you spot any.

            Thanks again for your assistance.
