As the title says, I can’t copy some of my saved screen templates.  
No clue why.

@drted here’s a quick guide to creating saved screens:

For example, let’s say you’ve created a particularly nice sign in screen: Now you have the option to “Save Screen to My Screens” in the properties on the right hand side: [02\_save\_screen] All you need to do is give you screen …

If you go to the saved screens tab are you seeing any errors of warnings @maxb?

no, there is no warnings nor errors, i see them all, I can open them, just when I go in any app to copy them it does nothing.

To “solve it”, I went to the origin app, created a new blank screen, copied the design elements one parent at a time, saved the newly created screen.

In this way I could use it, probably the problem is with the blocks
