Profile Copy

[KC8TMV]

I reviewed an old thread on IP CAM TALK (don't hate me) and it seemed to indicate that profile copy does not exist any longer (was in V3 or V4)

I of course have my profile 2 setup "just the way I want" and wanted to copy it everywhere, then do my tweaks on them after the copy.
In 5.4.9.17 I see the "sync from profile 1", but that is kind of the opposite of what I am trying to do.
If this feature does not exist, I would like to put in a feature request. Seems there are a lot of people that really liked that feature.
Any thoughts from the crowd?

From Page 89 in the Help File...

"You will find at the top of the Trigger, Alerts, and Record pages the option to synchronize the page. This replaces the functionality found in older versions where copy and paste buttons were tediously used."

In the Profiles and Schedules 101 YT video, they review how to use the new implementation of that feature.

I just wanted to update everyone with the solution to the mystery of the legacy Profile Copy feature. The answer is that you can't. I reached out to BI Support and received the following reply from Sam.

"Forwarding request to engineering. There is probably an unpublished way to copy Profiles via the registry settings, but I do not know the details. I'll reach out to engineering."

The feature has been removed and no one as yet knows how to solve it - not even Sam. For the time being you must manually copy your settings to profile 1 and start over.
