Copying conditions

[Derek27]

The ability to copy conditions from one rule to another would be a great time saver. I tried editing the text file, which is far from straight forward. Didn't work even when I reverted back to the original copy of the file. BA thought it was a different version, until I closed BA and restarted it.

Nothing worse than creating a rule, duplicating it 50 times then realising you made a mistake or need an edit

I'm sure back in the mists of time someone did a rule editor front end. Two windows, cut/paste, differences etc. Can't remember anything more than that but I'm >50% sure. Cue Dallas.......

Perhaps a readable XML like file format would help, albeit not an answer. All the data is there in the file but no labels or indication of the start and finish to a rule or condition.

it was me. made a little utility that opened up a rule and allowed you to copy it to either the clipboard or another file. unfortunately, it was at rule level, rather than condition level. i dropped further updates on it once BA offered up a facility to copy rules between files.

the ability to copy conditions tho is still a valid feature request and gets my +1

[edit] - lol, did a quick search for the utility: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=12022&p=102418&hil ... es#p102418

the advice is great , the missing link is a duplicating tool ....we need to capture those evolutionary changes without having start all over again.
