duplicate layout

[MarcelSt-Germain]

In catalog be able to duplicate a layout.  So add a duplicate item in the right button menu to do so.  Now you can only copy and paste.  The problem is that it's also duplicate the maps.  

We just need a copy of the layout with all layout elements being the same, same map it's pointing to, scale, etc..

For now very time consuming to change everything and delete these unwanted maps.

To clarify the status of the bug see https://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/QlVHLTAwMDE0NDMzMg== which indicates this is fixed in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 which is due to release in 1 week - June 23rd. 

(Sorry about the display issue with the actual Status on the support site. That is an issue they are looking to get fixed.)

@KoryKramer  Well dang, I wish they wouldn't have fixed that bug until they added a way to duplicate the map with the layout. I'm going to miss this bug.

🙂 Yep, what is a bug to one may not be a bug to all...

I’d also be interested in duplicate layout functionality.  For now I am using SDK sample code to add “Clone Layout” on right click mouse menu (easy to add - no coding required). 

I’d like to also request this functionality via Arcpy.  We have series of projects that follow pattern of    matching layouts to groups of feature classes. All is automated except this last step of creating layouts 1-> n.   This step is time consuming even with the clone command.

Right now to duplicate/resize a layout you must first open it, click the layout tab, and then click Duplicate Layout. It would help me work more efficiently if Duplicate Layout were a context menu option in the catalog view & pane.
