Copy and paste between open apps

[JRaasumaa]

This may already be on the horizon but I would love to see the ability to copy and paste controls and layouts between apps.

For example:

If I build a screen with all of it's layout, buttons, fields, etc. I'd like to be able to easily copy it from 1 app into another.

This would allow for multiple people working on a project but not in the same live file at the same time.

I was just thinking the same thing, JRaasumaa thank you for posting this idea.

We also need the ability to import our own custom control / component libraries.

Having to recreate the same custom control for every single app is very time consuming, repetitive and counter productive.

100% agree. I have only just started to get my head around this software and I had kind of assumed this feature was here already tbh.

It would be very helpful

Currently if the app is open in two diferrent browsers it is not happening but if you are toggling the app in the same instance you can copy paste, as in you copy from one app, close it and open in the same window the other app you want to copy the controls and just paste there. I know it is bit of long procedure and it would be helpful to do without closing the apps.

@ashwath12,

I did not know that you could copy paste by opening closing in the web browser! I had been doing that in desktop, but desktop takes a while to open files nowadays :/
