Hello,
I would like to request that a menu item named "Duplicate Workflow" be created in DeployStudio Admin in the Server menu, when Workflows is selected in the left hand column. This menu item would create a duplicate of what ever workflow(s) are highlighted in the main Workflow window when it is selected. If workflow "XYZ" is selected, and you used the "Duplicate Workflow" menu item, it creates a copy of workflow "XYZ" and names it "XYZ Copy".
Rationale: I find myself making several workflows where the majority of the workflow is exactly the same, except for one or two items. Rather than create a new workflow from scratch each time I would just like to duplicate one and then make the one or two changes needed. This reduces the chance I will forget to add something into the new workflow I'm working on.
Does this make sense? It would be like having the ability to make a Workflow template that you can base other templates off of that just have minor changes.
Thanks for all the work you do on this project.

Or you could just use the duplicate button that already exists.

Sure - if I knew where it was. Which button is it in DS Admin?

Ted,
In the DS Admin window, when you click on "workflows", then choose a workflow, you will see the plus, minus, and duplicate buttons in the bottom of that window. Don't be confused by the two different sets of plus, minus, and duplicate. The ones on the left are grayed out when your in the workflows section. Keep looking they are there, update to the newest build if you don't have them.

@thespider - thanks for the directions. I didn't even notice that button was added - I'm running RC17. Perhaps at some point the developers will add tooltips to the buttons in DSAdmin so that a small pop-up will show up when you hover over the button, which I have seen in other applications. :-)
