Clone Data Refinery Flow Model to another Watson Studio Project

We have a different clients who use same applications (like salesforce) and same style of data (leads, contacts, opportunities, etc). 

One of the worst tasks of data engineers today is the time consumption to implement hundreds of steps to clean, refine and prepare data to data scientists. Even worse is the need to repeat same process, implement same steps in another salesforce data source while you could clone the data Refinery Model, move it to another watson studio project and just change the data source attached to it. 

It would be like magic for me!!

    Yes, currently user can use these exported assets in new project. Adding/cloning DR flow to existing project will be a new enhancement and need to consider for future releases.

    Hello Snehal,

    I'm also facing the same problem which this aha request owner.

    I already know two features which you proposed and we can use the latter feature only when we create new project, right?

    We would like to clone Data Refinery Flow Model in the "exsisting" project to another "exsisting" project.

    Clone DR flow in same project:

    Within same project user can use clone action on data refinery flow.

    Bring DR flows in different project

    Users can export project assets into zip file and select which assets need to be exported. In this case user scan select Data Refinery flows. and then create new project with those assets.

    Documentation - https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQNUZ_2.5.0/wsj/manage-data/export-project.html#export-desktop

    Can you take a look at this export feature and let us know if this is sufficient for your uase case?
