Hi Johan,

 

This feature wasn't implemented as there were no many requests for it. I've added your vote to this feature request and ask the Team to review it.

At the moment, it looks like you can use the Clone REST Resources feature. Read the following article fore more information: http://readyapi.smartbear.com/features/multiedit/resource/clone

 

Here is a recorded example of how you can move/clone several resources:

I hope it helps.

Thanks for the response. It will be very useful.

One suggestion : mention in the documentation that if you want to clone a resource to another service you have to select the resource and at least one of the child resources or methods.

Otherwise you don’t get the full options of cloning, moving or deleting REST Resources and with cloning the possibility to clone to another service, …etc  You can only clone within the same Service
