Copying and Pasting an object in different workflow

Although Copy/Paste functionality allows a copy of an object to be placed in the current workflow, using the Duplicate option allows you to accomplish the task in one step. (See “Duplicating an object in a workflow”.)

Right-click a Workflow in the Object Browser and select Copy.

Select the Workflow and type Ctrl+C.

Right-click the target Workflow and select Paste.

Select the target Workflow and type Ctrl+V.

A copy of the object will be added at the bottom of the list of workflow objects with “Copy of” prepended to the name.

When pasting an object using Ctrl+V, Phoenix identifies an appropriate parent for the copied object. For instance, if a Workflow object is copied and then an executable (not a Workflow) is selected, typing Ctrl+V will paste a copy of the Workflow object into the parent executable’s Workflow. If another location is selected, such as the Data folder, a copy of the Workflow object will be pasted in the root Workflow. (Similarly, copying a worksheet and trying to paste it into an executable with Ctrl+V will paste the worksheet into the Data folder.)

Note: When copying and pasting objects, auto-mapping can take place. For example, a parameter worksheet with a Lower or Upper column can be unexpectedly mapped when pasting in an NLME model. Therefore, checking mappings after pasting a copied object is recommended.
