Copy container from one network to another

[DanH]

Is this possible? I want to copy a specific container to 5 other existing networks in my project, rather than have to build it from scratch 5 more times.

edit the XML

@Lindon Good idea. Could get messy though

Editing the XML might get indeed messy and you need to take care that there are no duplicate IDs and all the connections are still valid. If you use the inbuilt tools, this should be taken care of you.

Right click on the node, then choose the export popup and use "Export as Base64 state".

Then it will just appear at the top of the list of nodes to create so you can just duplicate it:

Unfortunately something overrides the clipboard content along the process so if you need to repeat that step make sure to save the clipboard text somewhere before duplicating the container.

@Christoph-Hart aha! I think this should be perfect, thank you!
