Not sure if this is the place to ask for a feature, but here it goes:
Often when I'm building/editing flows I reuse parts from other flows by copying property values. It's time consuming and risky to stop the flow I want to copy from when I'm doing this. It's easy to forget to restart a flow after stopping it and it feels clunky. Would it be possible to add a feature to copy property values from a flow thats running?
Or maybe ther already is a way to do this that I'm not aware of?

Re: Feature request - Copy property values while flow is running
HI,
I think support portal is the place to submit feature requests and I agree that it would be a useful feature. Currently, as a workaround, we simply duplicate the running flow and copy the values from the there, after which the duplicate can be deleted... A bit cumbersome, but safer that stopping an active flow (and forgetting to restart it..).

A heavily underused feature of Switch Designer (I think) is "Document flow"!!! IIt does not replace copy/paste but it is a useful complementary tool. For example you can do a text search so you can easily find all the instances where a certain value is used, etc.
