Would be great if it could somehow be implemented that shared flows by others in the community could be copied/transfered into/imported to ones own homey pro

Adding to this - it would be useful to be able to copy/paste from one advanced flow to another, within the same account/Homey device. I’m currently trying to reduce the number of flows, and want to have one single advanced flow to do tasks previously done by several other flows. Copy paste between my own flows doesn’t seem to work…

This should already work by default.  
Of jou select multiple flowitems and press copy, you (should be able to) paste this into another flow.
