Allow copying templates to other sites

Hi there,

Is there a reason why I cannot copy a paragraph or row template folder, nor the items in those folders?

No copy command at the folder level:


 

No Paragraph templates or Row templates subfolder here to select as the copy target when copying a template from within a folder:

 

Life would be a lot easier for content editors if they could create a template once and then easily copy it across the various web sites in a solution.

Thanks!

Imar

Just noticed that Copy row template exists for rows (at least on 9.10). Any reason not to add it for page and paragraph templates?

 

Thanks!

There probably is a reason, but I cannot provide an answer or remember why. There is languages, inheritance, template conflicts, item rules and all sorts of things that could go wrong in a copy, why it might not be present. Or because it hardly makes sense in 999 out of 1000 implementations.

Anyways - it is not available.
