Copy and Paste Triggers and Actions

Composer comes with very handy options when it comes to copy, paste and duplicate Triggers and Actions.

Copy and Paste a simple action or a set of actions

In the Trigger and Actions Details window, you can select and right-click an action, duplicate it, or copy it and paste it. Note you can paste it in the list of actions associated with another Trigger.

 

If you want to select multiple actions, press Control (Ctrl) key then left click each chosen action. Once it's done, you can, as you do for a single action, duplicate, copy and paste that set of handpicked actions.

 

Copy a Trigger and all its associated actions

In the Trigger and Actions Panel, right click a Trigger, it's on the left part of the Trigger/Action couple.

Now you're able to copy, duplicate and paste the whole set consisting of the Trigger and all its Actions.

Please note that if you want to paste this Trigger/Action(s) set to another Asset, this target Asset must have the same trigger implemented.

For instance, the trigger "is tapped" is available on a Rectangle Asset and on an Image Asset, but not on a Button Asset, which has "is pressed" or "is released" triggers.
