I am building a workflow that has several branches and I need to be able to clone the complete branch downline structure to each of the remaining branches. How can I accomplish this? Here is a quick loom video explaining in detail: Troubleshooting Workflow Branches 🔧 | Loom

Hi , I’ve created a ticket here and added to Pipedream internal backlog.

I believe there needs to be a new feature added to fulfill your needs.

Thank you @leo I know this is a new feature. I appreciate what it can do already. Adding the cloning functionality to conditional blocks will be awesome. If you saw my workflow, you can see where it would be super useful. The other part that would take it to the next level… in addition to copying a step, add a feature that allows you to “copy all workflow steps from this step down” and paste it anywhere else.

Good to know that it would solve your issue . Kindly comment on the ticket for any other suggestion you want :pray:

so, you can’t copy and duplicate entire workflows that have conditional logic??

Hi , yes I believe so. That’s the current limitation

The workaround is to create a share link of that workflow: GitHub

To clone a complete branch downline structure in a Pipedream workflow, you can follow these general steps: 1. Create a Template: If your workflow branch is complex and you want to reuse it across different branches, consider creating a template of the workflow. This allows you to replicate the entire structure easily. 2. Copy Steps Manually: If creating a template is not feasible, you can manually copy each step from the branch you want to clone. This involves creating new steps in the target branch and configuring them to match the original steps. 3. Use Workflow Sharing: You can share your workflow as a template with others or yourself. This feature allows you to create a shareable link that can be used to replicate the workflow in another Pipedream account or branch. For more details, you can refer to the Pipedream Workflow Sharing Documentation. 4. Automate with Code: If you have programming skills, you might consider using the Pipedream API to automate the process of copying steps. This would involve writing a script to interact with the Pipedream API and replicate the steps programmatically. If you need further assistance or specific guidance on any of these steps, please feel free to ask or visit Pipedream Support for more help.
