 Description  « Hide
One think I thought it would be nice to have is the ability to push-up/down part of a configuration to a parent/child configuration. E.g. You have defined a repository at a higher level, and you want to push it down to a child configuration. Right now you have to completely redefine the repository, but if you could just push a button and have it automatically copied to a (selected) child config, it would be useful. This concept could be applied to notifier, steps etc. I know that some of the need for redefining steps can be removed by defining variable, using these at the higher level, and just overloading these in the child configuration, but I think the idea is still useful.

I think it would be nice (but it's not so high priority) to give to user possibility to copy and move objects like Repository, Builder, Notifer between configurations. Currently I can clone an object inside configuration. It works well enough but some times I place objects not in right place from the first time. So I like to move them to right place. Some of objects I like to use as patterns that i can ajust in place. So I like to copy them.

Please let me add my name to the list of people wishing for this feature. I have a base configuration with many Builders and steps, and then I want to create child configurations which override subsets of these. The ability to copy a Builder or Step into the child, and then modify it, would greatly improve my efficiency.

Thanks!
