Copying a container with objects to another QVW

[#1]

Is is possible to copy an entire container (with objects and in some cases, nested containers) from one QVW sheet to another QVW sheet?

Yup, that annoyed me for ages.  As in it copies the container but not the objects the container contains.

However I have noticed of late that copying and pasting a container, now seems also copy & paste the objects within.

I am not sure when this started working ok for, but suspect it was when I upgraded to 11.2 SR3 to 11.2 SR5.

So if i just right click and select Copy to Clipboard > Object and then select Paste on the other sheet it should copy everything?  I am using 11.2 SR5.

Give it a go, I'd be curious to hear if it works ok for you.

I think this copy works only inside of one QVW..

In the old times (version 9 ?) there was a way to export/import the layout of a whole sheet. This would help here but this functionality is gone, unfortunately.
