Export or import Indoors Categories between Maps

Hello. There doesn't seem to be a way to export or import Indoor Categories from one Map to another. You can "Copy" Categories in the Configure Indoor Categories panel, but that only duplicates the category within the same map. Is there a recommended workflow for this? Is duplicating the entire map the only option?

My use case is that I have Indoor Categories set up on a Web Map (AGO) that is configured for the Indoors Viewer app, but I'd like to create a mobile map package for the Mobile app that uses the same categories but which references different data sources. If I open that AGO Web Map in ArcGIS Pro, it comes in as a linked map. I don't see a way to create a duplicate of that linked map without it also being linked to the original web map, and I'm worried about accidently overwriting it with changes I make for the Mobile copy. I don't see a way to unlink maps in ArcGIS Pro, either. 

I hope that makes sense. It seems like there should be a way to do this.

I’d also like to see this in order to reduce discrepancies between our desktop and mobile indoors viewers!

We have not found a way to do this either. We have had to redo our categories for every map viewer/package we have.. 😓
