Posted 5 years ago for a Bionic rules enhancement, and now created again as an ask for a Horizon Rules enhancement.

It’d be awesome if we could “clone” fetch tasks in Horizon Rules.

 

 

bionic rules enhancement request:

 


You got my vote for anything that’s got to do with cloning - I encounter this kind of need so often. 


Clone all the things!

Evaluate steps, program action steps, queries… everything!

#product-parity❗️


Can we please merge this idea with the following? 

Also, this question is marked as “solved” and ​@rakesh mentions the ability to clone being on the roadmap. Any idea if that is still planned soon? It’s been more than a year since the latest update. 

 


While I appreciate the intention behind the new ability to save task templates for rules / data designer, I feel like that fills a different intent in the workflow for repeatably deploying more complex task trees. It would be very convenient to be able to select “duplicate” from the context menu on a single task within the config screen while building for smaller copy actions.

 

Sidebar: I’m also not 100% comfortable using an aged asset in the form of a template, given that we sometimes see issues with “metadata corruption” affecting rules. There’s no easy way to tell whether a template contains this kind of corrupted metadata, and I’d hate to spread it around by using an affected template. May be a bit of paranoia on my part but I thought I’d add that in because it’s one of my concerns with templates in general.
