Copy and Paste / Move Automation Steps
planned
daniel.semenuk
I'd like to be able to move automation steps around. I built out a branched automation that works great, closes, and another branch after. Unfortunately, the branch after needs to be nested in each of the first branches. I have to manually recreate both branches inside the previous branches (Genesis assistant did a fabulous job not ruining my workflows and giving me feedback on the limitations).

The ability to copy, move, and reorder automation steps — especially for branching logic where you need to replicate a branch inside multiple parent branches — is a real workflow pain point when building complex automations.
We have shipped some related improvements: v5.7 added the ability to duplicate automation actions, v5.88 added duplicate automation flows within the same workspace, v5.205 added copy and duplicate for entire automation flows, and v6.95 brought Automation Health Diagnostics with EVE to detect broken workflows and suggest fixes.
However, intra-flow step reordering and copy-pasting individual steps between branches is not yet available — and your use case (needing the same branch nested in multiple parent branches) is exactly the kind of complex branching workflow that this would unblock.
This is a concrete and actionable request — we are sharing it with the automations team.
