I would be pretty cool to be able to copy button triggers to a step triggers, or app trigger, device and machine triggers

lets say that we already have a next button that is doing some comparations before continue to the next step, and we want to implement a foot pedal to go to the next step. in this case it would be cool to just copy that trigger instead of writing down it again.

Hey @ChirristopherOficial,

This is a great idea, and something we definitely hear on occasion from users. The existing copying logic is a relatively new addition, but it is easily my favorite app editor feature.

There is a ton of work going on around how triggers work (to make them more intuitive and more powerful), this feature is part of that work. I can’t commit to a date yet, but parts of that project are just starting to be released, I would expect most of that work to go live in the next 6 months. Can’t share too much about the specifics of the changes coming in that project, but as an app builder, I’m pretty excited.

Pete

Hey @ChirristopherOficial -

Any step level trigger can now be changed into any other type of step level trigger (in r235). We don’t yet support copying a step-level trigger to a widget, but it’s on the way.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/7/75e719f7a7fc37866b56f46a6cc408fff9d6e5db.png)

Check out some of the other details of r235 here:

> [@Release 235 - August 2022](https://community.tulip.co/t/release-235-august-2022/6163/2):
>
> you can now duplicate an action or a condition in the trigger editor! A new event was added to input components that can fire when the enter key is pressed! +1 grinningjoy

Partially resolved per update from @Pete_Hartnett, but I’m going to close this one to consolidate discussion on copying triggers into other object types please check [Search results for 'trigger copy' - Tulip Community](https://community.tulip.co/search?q=trigger%20copy)
