Copy options of Form element

[gdf]

I would like to suggest an improvment in Action on Object Types. It could be very convenient to be able to copy the list of options defined in Form element configured as “Multiple choice”/“Define options manually”.

Plus-value :
We first configure a Create action with one field (form element) having a long list of options (let’s say 20 options). Then few days after we define the Edit action and we want the same form Element with the same options. Of course many work around can help to not entering manually all the options, like having a text file in computer with the list of options or using an object type to store these elements. But in some case we do’nt want to create an Object Type just for that and we want to quickly create the Edit Action based on an Action create some time ago, my only option is to manually copy each element.

I think this is half possible already. At the very bottom there are three dots and ‘Paste a list of values’, then you get a pop-up that allows you to paste in a newline (or comma?) separated list, that then pre-populates the manual options:

The only downside is that it only fills the ‘static value’ part of the field. I’ve never been able to discover if there is a syntax that allows you to paste in both a static value, and an associated Display Name.

But some kind of global variable that can be re-used, as opposed to having to create a whole object for this, would be a better option.
