Multiple select of documents to be copied to projects

I don't see an option to select multiple documents to be copied to a single project at once. As a user I've to select Create project copy with references for every Master document I want to copy into a project. Could it be possible to select multiple documents before selecting the Create project copy with reference function ?

    We reviewed the requirement and it is not possible to implement the multi select for copy with references. The reason is that you would need a popup window for every master document to select the references you want to copy for-information or for-revision. This would practically be the same as selecting the master documents on-by-one.

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for your question. The Create Project Copy with References function is indeed available for only one Master document at the time. The technical reason behind this limitation is that Master documents can have the same references. The Create Project Copy with References automatically checks if reference documents are already copied to a project. This check fails when you perform a batch operation with multiple Master documents, because the references of the first document are not yet copied when you go to the next document.

    I will ask the team to review this requirement in more detail to see what is possible.

    Regards,
    Coen
