It would save so muche time to be able to move easily the different blocs when building a chatbot conversation flow. Same for copy paste!! ---

yeah, this is giving me a migraine today. Lots fo complex answers to questions, actions, in a number of chatbox builds, but haven’t found a way to grab a part of one, or a branch, and copy it over. have to do tons of back and forth, bit by bit, hoping I get all the branches right, etc. ---

Ditto. Have to re-do every chat when needing to make changes at this point. ---

It would be great and save so much time of me having to recreate the branch every time. ---

Spent hours building our chat bot over the past few days, now learned i can’t clone multi choice answers for another chatflow, makes no sense to me when cloning is such a great tool in other parts of the system​🤷‍♂️ ---

I have spent too much time building chatflows that could have been done more efficiently if there were simple features available. -Drang & drop components of chatflow. -Copy this component within the flow and (bonus feature would be copying components to other chat flows including entire branches) ---

This is needed. Should work like your current workflow copy and paste actions. ---

We have mobile and Web products and want a consistent support workflow. Maintaining this across the production and pre-production accounts is a nightmare. Can anyone from @hubspot comment on if/when copy/paste to might work? Export/Import would be even better. Especially if it’s a simple text format (JSON or YAML). Then doing text/copy updates would be even easier. Updating a fresh dev environment would be a cinch! ---

Hi @SuppDev while we don’t have a notable timeline to share, we recommend keeping an eye on this thread for any updates that come directly from our Product team regarding the state of this feature! 🙂 Jess Nader Community Manager
