Add "Duplicate/Clone Flow" as an option for Tool Builders

Creating a flow is still time consuming due to the mapping requirement. It would be very useful to be able to duplicate a flow that can then be edited/altered for a similar work flow.


Right now, that flow has to be built "from scratch". This complements the "Edit Flow" function.

    This is achieved for our catalog today as a template. May not achieve all the use cases desired, but this is partially enabled.

    repurposing this idea for the new flow feature, not yet allowing to duplicate an existing flow.

    This is something we plan to enable as we revisit our catalog organization and builder experience. We hope to enable this in the second half of the year.

    Thank you for the idea, indeed something we would consider to facilitate development of similar skills.

    In meantime, you could export the skill, change it's operationID and other labels as desired, and import it to have a new copy of the same skill flow.
