[Feature Request] Duplicate workflows and templates

[CaporalDead]

Hi folks !

It would be cool to add the ability to duplicate a workflow from a source to another source, especially when using a custom source. Or the ability to save a workflow as a custom source. This is very usefull to avoid recreating all the "passed" pipeline etc...

Tell me if you need more infos about the usecase or if my request is unclear.

Have a great day 👋 !

Hi Thomas 👋

Thanks for the feature request!

Did you know you can select as many nodes as you want and right-click to copy/paste them in different workflows?

When you copy your selection, your clipboard will contain a JSON payload containing all the information necessary to add it somewhere else. When you paste it, it will recreate all the nodes for you, even in a different workflow.

So to duplicate a workflow, you can:

• Select all nodes from the original workflow.
• Copy them.
• Paste them in the new workflow.

That being said, it might be a good idea for us to add a button somewhere in the UI to provide a faster (and more intuitive) way to duplicate all nodes from a different workflow.

Thanks again and I hope this helps! 😊

Thanks for your feedback !

I think a good way to provide it would be to let users save a "template" to use it later. That way, instead of using the "custom" connector, we could use the previously saved template.

Thanks! I totally agree, having a template feature would be super valuable. I've updated the title so we can keep track of this feature request in the same GitHub issue. 👌
