Duplicate a parameter

In the same way as you can duplicate a transformer, adjust it slightly and reuse it without having to fill in all the details again, I'd like the ability to duplicate a parameter that I've just created and then edit it slightly for another intended purpose.

I agree! Although there also is this idea which takes it to another level, duplicating a parameter would be easy to realise for Safe (I think) and it would already speed up your workflow a lot.

This has been released as part of FME 2017.0 . Visit http://www.safe.com/downloads to download and give it a spin.

Good news, this is in FME 2017.0 build 17181 and later. You can right click on a parameter and copy or duplicate, and then to paste (for now) you right click on the canvas of the target.

I was about to make the request for adding a "Duplicate..." context menu option on Parameter when I found this. One more vote on this idea!

Especially if there is a python script in it filling the parameter. It would be really nice just adjusting the python a little instead of retype it all.

Also, copying between workspaces would be a treat.
