Copying and Pasting a Formula Component

You can copy a formula component from a rule or template and paste it into the same, or a different, rule or template. You can also copy the contents of the condition grid within a formula component and paste it into the same, or a different, formula component. You cannot copy a formula component and paste it into another formula component or another component type.

To copy and paste a formula component:

In System View, right-click a rule or template, and then select Open.
In the Rule Designer or Template Designer flow chart, right-click a formula component, and then select Copy.

If the component you want to copy is shared, you can right-click the formula component and select Copy Reference to copy the reference to the shared component instead of copying the component itself. (See Copying and Pasting the Reference to a Business Rule Formula or Script Component.)

If the component you want to copy contains other components (that is, children), you can copy all of the components in the group by using Ctrl+click to select them all, right-clicking them, and selecting Copy Group. (See Copying and Pasting a Component Group in a Flow Chart.)
Do one of these tasks:
- To paste the formula component into the same business rule or template flow chart, right-click in the location of the flow chart into which you want to paste the formula component, and select Paste.)
- To paste the formula component into a different business rule or template flow chart, open the business rule or template into which you want to paste the component, right-click in the location of the flow chart into which you want to paste the formula component, and select Paste.
