In Perch Runway, Can Collections Be Duplicated?

I have a Collection with 150 items on it. Is there ANY way to duplicate this Collection region?

No, there's no option for duplicating a collection.

Can this copy/duplicate feature come out of the backlog perhaps? https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/06-05-2017-duplicate-content-the-data-in-the-regions

If you're interested in seeing it implemented, it needs to be in the backlog. A backlog is "an accumulation of uncompleted work or matters needing to be dealt with".

Leigh,

Can't you just recycle the collection (have 2 perch_collection() functions), if you want a copy of the collection then isn't that just the same...?

Excuse me if I missed something here, I am just trying to figure out how a copy of the same would be necessary. Not trying to be confrontational.

Hi Robert - thanks for the note. Well, the regions are filled with lots of content. So the point would be to copy all that content to a new Collection, then edit that NEW Collection, saving us lots of data entry time. Make sense?
