Replicating a Parameter Template

Scenarios

You can replicate a parameter template you have created. If you already have 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 replicate the parameter template to generate a new parameter template for future use.

After the parameter template is replicated, the new template will be displayed about 5 minutes later.

Default parameter templates cannot be replicated, but you can create custom parameter templates based on those default templates.
