Copying and Pasting Metadata Loop Components

You can copy a metadata loop component from a custom template and paste it into either the same template or a different custom template.

To copy and paste a metadata loop component:

  1. In System View, right-click the custom template that contains the metadata loop component, and then select Open.
  2. In the Template Designer, in the flow chart, right-click the metadata loop component to copy, and then select Copy.
    If you dragged a formula or script component inside the metadata loop, select Copy Group to copy both the metadata loop and the component inside the metadata loop
  3. Do one of these tasks:
    • To paste the metadata loop component into the same template, right-click the desired location in the flow chart, and then select Paste.

    • To paste the metadata loop component into a different template, open the desired template, then right-click the desired location in the flow chart, and then select Paste.

  4. Click Save button.

Note:

To copy design-time prompts if they are used in the metadata loop, in the design-time prompt tab, right-click the row containing the design-time prompts to copy, and then select Copy.

To copy all design-time prompts, select Copy Grid, then open the template where you want to paste the design-time prompts, then in the Design-Time Prompt tab, click in the grid, and then right-click and select Paste.
