Copying Slide triggers – LOTS of slide triggers
I have made a little slider interaction where the user can click arrows at the end of scale to move the pointer toward either end. It has 50 slide triggers that change the state of the pointer.
I need to have this on a second slide that is already built. Is there a way to copy all 50 triggers at once to the new slide?
I supposed I could duplicate the existing slide and delete the parts I don't need. But I was hoping to just add the triggers to the new slide.

You can copy the whole slider which will copy the triggers across, otherwise its one trigger at a time.
Any objects that are copied and pasted will copy the triggers as well
Yes, the triggers on the little clicky arrows that set the variable copied over. But the others are on the slide. I guess the only way is to copy the slide.
I probably should have attached those triggers to the pointer or some off stage object or something....
I was afraid that was the answer, thanks for confirming.
This might be worth submitting as a feature request as I'm sure others would like that functionality.
This is still not a feature. Feels like a must have to me :)
+1, Curtis!
Hi Curtis,
This discussion is a bit older, but we still don't have a method to copy a whole group of triggers at once. You could duplicate a slide, which would replicate all your triggers or you can also look at duplicating an object in which the triggers are assigned and that would also allow for them to carry over to a new object.
Hi Ashley & team,
Hope you're doing well!
I was looking for a similar feature to work on a slide that has the same set of elements/triggers but is just a translated version of another language.
It would have greatly helped if this feature was implemented (just to copy-paste triggers without affecting the text).
Currently, it is really a lot of manual work, if I must replace those triggers
Or
Perhaps, I'm probably not using the correct method?
The problem is we have one slide with lots of triggers and we tried comparing it with the source (which is in English, that works just fine), but the one we are trying to translate, has a problem with one of the triggers (the conversation dialogue doesn't initiate in one of the triggers)
Could you please suggest, if there is a better way to copy the trigger from the source, so that I won't have to manually work on that slide?
Just imagine how much manual work could be reduced with such a feature...Hope to hear soon...
Cheers from Bangalore, IndiaIn storyline 360 you can select entire groups of triggers and paste them on another slide

Yeah I know, it was the discussion that was at the top after searching. I am currently doing several long system training modules (screen recordings) and we are using a custom nav that requires a number of base layer triggers. I am hoping that in future a shift click will copy more than one trigger! also being able to create comments to organize triggers would be fantastic.
I agree that this would be very useful!
Thanks for adding your voice, folks! We've still got our eye on this discussion as we consider features to be added in the future. 😊
Chiming in here... this would be so helpful. I currently have a screen recording in which I have a status bar and other things requiring about 10 triggers per slide. It's tedious to copy/paste all of them and I can't copy/paste the entire slide b/c of the screen recording.
Can you put them on a layer and then show layer from the base? That way you can copy the layer with the triggers. Some make break if they are pointing to other layers.
that may work... I'll have to play around with it. Thank you for the suggestion!
Hi, Jennifer. Thanks for sharing your scenario with us!
I'm going to let our team know that you'd also like to see this ability in a future update. If there's any forward movement on this option, we'll let everyone in this discussion know. Here's a glimpse into how we prioritize feature requests! 😊
