Is there a way to clone an entire project in Ready!API 1.8.5?

I often work with customers that have a similar setup (they all use the same methods, and endpoints that don't change).   I'd like to be able to copy the XML file for the project, rename it, change...

    The solution was to close Ready!API, go into each project, and change the "id" tag in the header of each project to be unique, then re-import each project.

     

    It is a work-around, but I am able to reload projects now.

That did not work.  It still thinks it is the original project.

Sorry, did not get. Who thinks?
What I mentioned literally translates to have a copy of the project by doing "Save As".
Then, there will be another soapui project with different name. However, note that the project name in the ReadyAPI work space is not changed, so you will see the two items in the same workspace which is expected. If you want to have different name, change project name too.

Hope this clarifies.

    The issue is that the only options that I get are to re-open the original project, or update the original project, neither of which I want to do.

     

    I want to open a new/separate project, with a new name (which I edited in the new project's XML file).

      This *used* to work with version 1.8.0.  The behavior changed when I upgraded to 1.8.5.
