Selecting multiple triggers to copy
Hi All,
A object in a slide has 5 triggers attached to it. I need to copy those 5 triggers and attach them to a different object.
I am not able to select multiple triggers at once (using pressing shift, control or any other way). What I am doing right now is copying one trigger at a time and pasting it to the target object.
I would like to know is there any way by which I can select multiple triggers at once and paste them to different object.
Thanks in advance

you can only paste one trigger at a time
That stinks.
I second that!!!! I have 50 slides that I need to do this to on a weekly basis.
Hi, Jazzmine -- Thanks for reaching out! And if there are features or functions you would like to see made available, I thought I'd stop in to share this form as a way to pass your ideas to our Product Development team.
Depends on what sort of object the triggers are attached to. You might be able to duplicate the object, which carries along tis triggers, then change the object.
This is pretty frustrating. It would greatly improve development time if you could copy and paste all of an objects triggers to another.
Also, a hot key command for moving objects on the timeline up or down such as ( ctrl+shft+[ ). Since if you have more than one selected you can't drag them up or down for some reason. You have to go find the command in Format > Arrange>Send Backward. This takes forever.
Unless I'm unaware of this shortcut?
Hi David,
I have attached this conversation to a feature request that we have for the ability to copy/paste multiple triggers at a time.
You can certainly choose more than one item at a time on the timeline to shift them on the timeline (left/right), but the ability to move them up/down is limited to one.
I've submitted this feature request on your behalf as well.
That's awesome! Thanks, Leslie.
Thanks Leslie. Both would be a great addition.
Agree.
Yes, this needs to be fixed!
The copying multiple triggers was requested as far back as 7 years ago after a quick search.
How's it coming along..??
Hi David,
Thanks again for reaching out! No updates yet, but rest assured, we're adding every voice to the conversation, and we appreciate you following up!
Yep, I'd like to "upvote" this feature request as well. Would be such a timesaver on multiple levels, since I usually make mistakes and troubleshooting what trigger I missed between one slide and the next is a pain!
