Would be nice to be able to clone project so that majority of the settings are copied to another project so only small details like branch need to be updated.

   This problem will be solved in the new release by:

   1) branch name to built is taken from GitHub/BitBucket webhook - it's not constant anymore.
   2) you can define project configuration in appveyor.yml file in the root of repository.

   @feodor would you consider adding a Clone Project button to the interface as well for those of us not using yaml configuration? Or perhaps an import yaml since we can easily export it from an existing project? Thank you.

   Sure, for now you can do a simple call to REST API to import YML settings: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/api/projects-builds#update-project-set...

   Because I am inherently lazy I second the suggestion. I think it would be great to be able to clone a project and also environments - I'm currently doing this manually and it's a bit tedious.

   Having a clone button on the interface for projects and environments would be golden!
   I long await for this.
   How hard could it be adding in this feature?

   Cheers

   Please check the script for doing that. Not exactly a button, but at least should save some time.

   I guess that's better than nothing.

   Is there something similar to clone an environment?

   thanks

   Thanks Ilya!

   Is there some sort of most wanted features that we can vote for?
