Copy/duplicate content from one page to another

Hi. Is it possible to copy content from one page to another? Building a consistent header including menu items for each page is time consuming, and I can’t figure out how to re-use elements on other pages.

Good morning @patrick!

I’m afraid this is not currently possible in v1.28, however in our next release we should have a multi-page container element implemented. This will allow you to re-use elements across multiple pages as you describe.

I hope this helps, have a great weekend!

hi @picklepete
I see that this feature has been moved to 1.29, when is it planned ? :pray:

Good morning! We are aiming for v1.29, but it may slip into v1.30 if we run into any complications.

Ok thanks ! And it’s about a minor a month ?

This would be a very welcome addition. Even as a short term solution, the ability to create a new object, and then copy/paste the properties of another object of the same type to the new object would be a most useful feature indeed. Save a lot of recreating elements manually. :slight_smile:

Good morning @DataGecko,

The multi-page container is now available in the application builder. This element allows you to add header and footer containers to your page, and any elements added within these headers and footers will be replicated across all pages within the application.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, have discovered that. Great addition, testing it out.
I was more talking about the ability to copy/paste page objects within the page. For example if I create a page with a number of text boxes in a form, and then decide I want to put it into two columns, then I have to recreate all the objects again from scratch. :slight_smile:
Just a quality of life thing.
