Ability to copy dynamic elements from CMS pages and paste them somewhere else

Lets say I have the perfect layout prepared for my CMS blogpost or a category. For the sake of consistency of my website, I would like to copy the entire layout, paste it to one of my other pages and modify it as much as I need to.


When I try to do so, I get the usual "Dynamic elements can only be moved withing the same Collection List or Collection Page".


As a workaround, I have to unlink all of the dynamic elements from my CMS page, one by one, copy the entire layout, reverse all of the unlinking (because I dont want to break my original CMS page), quickly switch to the other page and paste it there.


Could it please automatically unlink all of the dynamic elements when I try to copy+paste them somewhere else and replace it with the usual "lorem ipsum" AND give me a warning that you had to unlink the copied dynamic elements, instead of a warning, that I cannot do this at all?


Cheers and keep up the great work!

    I found a work around this issue. First all links inside the layout have to be broken, then the layout should be converted into a component. Then just add the component into your new page, now edit the component and comp content, exit component editor, now paste the content into a section or body.

    Yes please! This is so annoying.

    The paste could automatically detach the connections and simply paste the html and the css classes. They made it very hard to work smoothly with dynamic content.

    Just kidding - I figured out that I can still do that lol.

    Yes! I used to do this by opening a second window of the site and then when I pasted it, it would automatically break the connections. Since you can only have one designer in there now, it removed this ability.
