Replicating a Parameter Template

Scenarios

You can replicate a parameter template you have created. When you have already created a parameter template and want to include most of the custom parameters and values from that template in a new parameter template, you can replicate that parameter template. You can also export the instance's parameters to generate a new template.

Default parameter templates cannot be replicated, but you can create parameter templates based on the default ones.

Procedure
