If the content is changed in one of the folders, it is changed everywhere.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So I got to spend many hours unraveling the mess I created.&nbsp; :cry:&nbsp; Don't worry, I'm quite sure it works </SPAN><SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">exactly</SPAN><SPAN> as the programmer intended for it to work.&nbsp; <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But, now that it is mostly unraveled, I would like to find a way to actually create copies of a folder, its subfolders and it content into a new space or somtimes into the same parent space with a different name.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>An Import/Export would work but then I can't pull it into the same space with a different name.&nbsp; Does that make sense?&nbsp; For example:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>folder1 &gt; folder2.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I export folder2 and want the exact copy named folder3 under folder1.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>folder1 &gt; folder2</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>folder1 &gt; folder3 </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>When I export and then import folder2 it will try to overright folder2.&nbsp; And I can't just rename folder2 to folder3 and import it as folder2 because of other reasons (metadata pointing to folder2 in other parts of the system)</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope that makes sense.&nbsp; Right now, I'm just recreating everything and copying them manually.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 31 Dec 2007 21:37:41 GMT nyronian 2007-12-31T21:37:41Z 'Copy item to a specified space' Action https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/copy-item-to-a-specified-space-action/m-p/141865#M99351 Ok….after using "Copy item to a specified space" action on several folder in my system I realized it does not actually create copies of the content, instead it creates pointers to the original content.
