Add 'Clone' button to Luci configurations, esp in Firewall

vincejv · April 29, 2024, 4:40am

I'd like to see a feature in Luci wherein it's possible to clone configurations like in the screenshot

Implementation:

This has been a practice in other Router based UIss like Mikrotik's Router OS Winbox through the copy button, this an example of a VLAN configuration

Great feature, also missing it after ROS usage. It would be nice to have it in OpenWRT out from the box.

This augments CBITableSection, affecting types which extend it, i.e. CBIGridSect…ion. Setting a table 'cloneable' property to true reveals a column of clone buttons who designate the current entry as a clone source. Clicking the clone button duplicates the data of that section_id into a new entry, while the new entry gets a new and unique SID. E.g. s = m.section(form.GridSection, 'foo', _('Bar')); ... s.cloneable = true; Clone and add actions differ: clone will not open a dialogue. That is a user exercise. One may set the put_next flag to false to put the new clone last, or true to put it next (after the clone source). This uses a new uci action which fulfills the behaviour: clone It is possible for the uci clone action to be used independently.

Very useful feature in case you need to enter the same rule several times with different details.
