Clone an element with all settings

Hi,

Is there a way to make an identical copy of an element with only another name. This element is using connection strings which makes it probaly tricky to do this.

Hi Gerwin,

If you are referring to SNMP Community strings then when duplicating an element those should be "pre-filled" and then creating the element should apply them.

However, if with connection strings you are also referring to credentials for HTTP or SSH or other communications that are stored in parameters then I do not believe there is a generic way of achieving what you are after.

The only thing I can think of is to use the Copy Element Data Tool to copy all parameters from one element to another but if the credentials are with the type password, those may not work.

No it’s a table filled with information pulled from other elements through element connection strings.

João Severino [SLC] [DevOps Catalyst] commented 10th January 2024

Given that is table data it should work nicely with the Copy Element Data Tool.
What I am unsure of is if a duplicate element will also bring along the element connection mapping and that could be desired or not.
