Kudos to SmartBear R&D

OK, I know there's been some grief flying around here about some bugs in the current 12.40 release... legitimately so for some of the ones folks are running into.

 

HOWEVER... I have to say that this feature is a SUCH a time saver:

Here's what I have:

 

For architectural reasons, I have two different projects with similar code (not exactly the same but similar) operating against the same application under test.  I recently added some new NameMapping to one of the projects and added a new function in that project.  So, I need to implement this in the new project.  

 

So, first I copy the code (I know, I know... but as I said, there's some architectural reasons for it) into the second project.  Now, I'm thinking, "d**n, I need to remap all that new stuff".  And then i think, "Will copy and paste work for this?"

 

So, on my local desktop, I open up the project that I want to copy from.  In a RDP connection to a VM, I open up the project that I want to copy to.  In the Mapped object panel in the "from" project, I right click on the object I want to copy and select copy.  Then I go to my "to" project and right click and select paste on the appropriate parent.

 

 

30 minutes of work... done... in less than 30 seconds.

 

Totally one of the most AWESOME new features of this release.  Way to go, SmartBear!  TanyaYatskovska, please pass this along to the R&D team... they deserve the recognition.
