Copying Transformers
You may want to use the same transformer more than once in a MAP step. For example, you might want to convert all the dates in a purchase order to the same format. Instead of inserting the service repeatedly, you can copy and paste the transformer service.
You can copy transformers between MAP steps in the same flow or MAP steps in different flow services.
You can copy multiple transformers at a time.
