So far, Experience Builder has been great - but there is one enhancement that would help a lot.

Could we get the ability to duplicate elements?

In the example below I have configured the heights, spacing, backgrounds, etc. for the Column and child rows and I want to have the same settings for a column element below it. It would be a great feature if a user could simply 'select' a group of elements and then duplicate or copy it.

I think OP was asking about being able to copy from one experience to another, not just within pages of one experience?

Copying from one app to another is not doable in the OOTB features.

Is it something that can be requested via the ideas page or is it simply not possible? It would be a very useful functionality to be able to copy premade widgets from one experience to another. Can't imagine how much time it would save. I have some menu widgets with 30 different filters. Having to remake these as part of the workflow in creating new experiences almost renders it useless.

@chill_gis_dude Currently, we do not have a clear plan to support this.

However, in your case, maybe you could try to save the original app after configuring these filters as a new app ( the 'Save as' feature in the builder), and then create the second one upon that. The difference is copying an entire app versus the individual widgets.

Thank you, I will give that a shot!
