Cutting, Copying and Pasting a Condition or Result from One Decision Entity to Another
You can cut or copy and paste conditions (decision tables, decision trees) or results (decision tables, decision trees, event rules) from one decision entity to another. This only applies if the values of the conditions and results do not contain any errors. A condition or result of a decision table or decision tree can also be cut or copied and pasted to a result of an event rule. A result of an event rule can also be cut or copied and pasted to a condition or result of a decision table or a decision tree.
In addition to the criteria specified in
Cutting, Copying and Pasting a Condition or Result within the Same Decision
Entity, keep the following points in mind when pasting:
If a condition or result containing a parameter element has been copied to the system clipboard, the Paste option is disabled, unless the parameter the parameter element is part of exists within the target decision entity. The fully qualified parameter name must match exactly.
If a condition or result containing an action has been copied to the system clipboard, the Paste option is disabled, unless an identical action exists within the rule project of the target decision entity, and all parameters used in the action mapping exist in the target decision entity. The fully qualified parameter names must match exactly.
If a condition or result containing a function has been copied to the system clipboard, the Paste option is disabled, unless all input parameters of the function exist within the target decision entity. The fully qualified parameter names must match exactly.
