Hi,
is there a possibility to copy actions of one configuration into another configuration?
The reason for this is that I want to test some actions in a small test-configuration before add them into the build-configuration.
And another reason is that if I use for example a configuration for nightly builds and and one for official builds, there will be some actions which are in both configurations. It will save time if I can simple copy them and do not have to create them new.

Hi Rynardald,
It’s not possible to copy actions or stages between configurations (at least not without editing the database).
You can clone the whole configuration. If you browse to the configuration view, you can then choose Clone Configuration from the Tasks menu e.g.
However, this probably isn’t ideal for your scenario. We are however currently working on functionality for exporting configurations to a file which can then be reimported into Continua CI.
