Let tools group by selections persist when copied

[patrick_digan]

There are a number of tools that lose their selections when copied and pasted. Here are the ones I quickly found so far: 

-Multi Row Formula (Group By)

-Running Total (Group By)

-Transpose (Key Fields and Data Fields)

-Unique (Unique Fields)

-Concatenate (Group Data by these values and method for aggregating values)

It would be really great if they could keep their selections when pasted. This would be similar to the Join, Multi Field Formulas, or Sort tools which keep their settings but let you know if a field is missing. Thanks!

The table tool is another one that can suffer dramatically from lost metadata: idea

@MarqueeCrew  Can I request keeping configuration when copy/pasting the Only Unique tool? 😁 💙

@Kenda ,

I would be happy to accommodate you, but the copy/paste of the tool in alteryx isn't capturing the XML from the configured tool.  If you VIEW the XML, for complex configurations you can copy the XML and EDIT/PASTE it into the new tool.  For that matter, you can convert any "blank" macro into whatever it is that you copy/paste from probably.

Cheers,

Mark
