Duplicate a Datamesh

My team depends on a series of "working" sheets (target sheets) that have a set of predetermined columns that all populate data from a central "data" sheet (source sheet). The data sheet stays static, but the working sheets are frequently added. The ability to duplicate a datamesh and simply change the target sheet would be a huge time saver.

    The ability to copy datamesh jobs, that will allow a rename and modify the mapping fields in the new source or target files.

  • I second this, I just spent ~15 mins per sheet with the same DataMesh fields and the same source sheet. Basically it was 1 parent sheet with 12 child sheets that needed different data form the parent!

  • This would solve a huge problem for me as I am about to create 86 separate data meshes!

    Please make this a feature, you can prompt the user for the source and destination when it's duplicated if that helps.

    The ability to copy an existing DataMesh as new. Allowing an edit on either the selection source sheet or target sheet; and it's data field mappings.

    Use Case:

    I have similar reports that have different targets; the data fields are the same. Currently I have to recreate the job from scratch. It would be a time saver if I could just copy the job and modify as needed.

    Thanks
