Copy/Move variable groups into other collections

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them.

I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.

2 months after launch and still no moving variables between collection.

has already been mentioned, but here as a bullet list

Work around:

Export your variabels
Open the JSON Files and merge it manually
Import your new JSON File

Yeah, none of the workarounds mentioned here really work as references need to move with the variables. Writing a plugin to do this would be very painful as you would have to scan all the nodes for variable references and repoint them

Please please please, this feature is so needed. it is unthinkable to have perfectly clear ideas about how to set variables from the first moment you start working on them. this constraint makes any change in structure extremely tedious and inconvenient. please release an update on it asap 💜

I’m surprised this is still an issue; this is definitely something that we need as we’re all learning how to use variables and will inevitably need to reorganize.
