Clone Folder & all its contents

We have been running global campaigns from a single program. We'll have the global smart campaigns which provide the functionality. Then we'll create folders to localise emails & landing pages. Our process is to first create something in English, review it, once we're pleased we translate to Dutch, French & German. If there's a complex campaign with subfolders it gets to be quite a pain to create a new folder for the new language, then clone each asset individually into sub folders.

Suggestion: When right clicking on a Folder within a Program, provide the ability to clone the folder & its children.  If one of the select fields on the clone popup screen could be Landing Page template it would make my campaign manager's heads explode with joy.

I would use this feature near daily for cloning folders full of reports, smart campaigns, and emails. When I orient new users to Marketo, they're often shocked when trying to use the folders as they would in an operating system, where they can duplicate and delete folders easily. I feel a bit embarrassed to admit that despite Marketo's power, it can't do that.

 

For this feature, there could be a pop-up to confirm which objects should be cloned and where to, similar to cloning an email or program. Even being able to clone folders without the pop-up would be helpful. In order to ensure all objects have unique names, "CLONE" or a randomized unique identifier could be amended to names. 

 

I believe this is an incredibly desirable feature to enable users.

The ability to clone folders and contents when working in multiple languages or regions would be a great additional feature I would certainly adopt.

Can't believe this functionality doesn't exist. Would make administration much more efficient.

This would be really useful as we organize everything into folders

When cloning the folder, all it's tokens should be cloned as well.

Is this still complicated? It would be really handy.
