Ability to copy/edit Data Source Information steps to another spotfire report with same data tables
Would be helpful if there is a option to copy all the steps that are perform in one data table when we dot Edit > Data Table Properties > Source Information steps to another Spotfire report which has the same data tables

The operation could be very simple. In the data canvas, a button that says "Export data table" and then you navigate through a local directory or the network to the file that you want to add the new data table + transformations to
Yes, this would be very helpful! Often there are transformations on a data table in one report that I would like to apply identically to the same data table in another report. I would also like the ability to copy just one transformation (say, one calculated column or a set of calculated columns) within a report or from one report to another. Currently the best way to do this is to just copy and paste the custom expression into a new calculated column, which can be very time-consuming and error-prone if you're doing many in a row.
Agree -- Currently there is no way to "merge" visualization files. You can copy visualizations from one file to the other, but it's very complicated to copy a data table that has had multiple manipulations / transformations. Being able to export the Source Information and import it into a new file would make this a LOT easier!

Idea TS-I-7195 aligns and complements well with this idea. It says to be able to name a group of transformations
