Copy environment settings

Is it possible to copy environment settings? We have shared test servers for our clients and therefore our deployments are very much alike. Would be handy if we can copy a previous environment and just change what's needed for the new project.

   Hello,

   If you and your clients work under the same AppVeyor account, then you can try to use the same environment, but pass different environment variables. But if you are on different accounts, then unfortunately now you cannot export environment setting to YAML... Good news is that we plan major improvements for environments this year and this should become easier.

   Ilya.

   Thank you for your quick response.

   Working with the environment variables does not really work in our setup. We are also a web agency with a lot of customers/projects, so a way of copying settings would be a useful add on for us.

   Same issue as jasper. Each of our (many) projects has multiple environments; repeating provider settings across each is a tedious cut & paste process!
