Add a function to copy/paste tester parameters between different transformers. E.g. if I have a number of conditions set in a tester which I want to use in a condition when creating an attribute or in a new testfilter I now have to recreate the whole conditional. A copy/paste or import from transformer function would make life easier.

Wish I could upvote this +100. Trying to move a bunch of complex TestFilter conditionals into a single AttributeManager transformer right now.

It would be AWESOME, if there was a way to copy conditional statements between transformers in general - Not just in the Tester and TestFilter.
This should have been made available when the TestFilter was introduced as an alternative to the Tester. Also when the AttributeManager was introduced to combine the functionality of several existing transformer including the AttributeCreator. I have several Parameter Condition Definitions with a dozen or more clauses. It is a very tedious and error-prone task to migrate these from an AttributeCreator to an AttributeManager.

Hello @ekkischeffler @courtney_m @cvonstetten @jdh-- the wait is over. FME 2018 betas have this (actually they have for a while). You can right click on a condition OR use the copy/paste buttons in the condition editor. Give it a try and let us know what you think. The Tester editor is also a bit less click-tastic which I personally am already enjoying...
