Blue Prism has the option included for creating multiple references to a single process or object as part of its multi-team-environment feature. To create a new reference you hold down the Control key while dragging a process or object to a new group. This creates a reference to the same process, meaning changes made when accessing the process via one instance are effective on the other instance.
This is confusing since Control + drag is a commonly used way of creating a separate copy of something (for example files or folders in WIndows). When you create a duplicate in Windows via Ctrl + drag, the new instance is separate from the original and any changes made to one instance are only made to that one.
If you want to create a copy of a process in BP you have to open the process and then use 'Save As' which is not necessarily obvious or the simplest method.
I would recommend that two new menu items be added to the right-click menu for processes and objects:
The function of Ctrl + drag could then be switched to be in line with the more common use of creating a copy although I appreciate that this change may cause confusion for those already familiar with the function.
