[Request]Copy-Paste Scripting

I would like to thank the IA team for the right-click “copy binding” and right-click “paste binding” on component property feature. This has saved lots of time.

I would like to propose the same functionality for scripting. For instance, I have the same popup that is called by hundreds of templates and sometimes the parameters are modified slightly. Currently, I set it up for one instance of the template, switch over to the script editor tab, instead of the navigation tab and copy-paste the script onto the next component’s script editor. It would be very nice to be able to right-click the component “copy scripts” and right-click “paste scripts” between components so that all scripts for all event handlers are copied at once.

Is this in particular Vision, Perspective, or both? Not that they're not both worth doing, just wondering if there was a particular urgency behind either.

I’d find it quite useful in perspective, the copy binding feature was greatly appreciated and the copy script would also be useful.

I mainly use vision, but would definitely be equally useful for both

Copy and paste of Named Query Binding parameters would be nice too.

Drives me insane when I duplicate a table, chart, etc then go and select a slightly different named query and have to re-enter all of the parameters again.

Yes, this is crazy.. I always have to open the notepad and copy-past all the path and the past to the new named query

For this I would copy the table json into notepad and edit the nq there before pasting back

Edit: @Aiasa21 beat me to it haha
