Minions, Duplication and Importing

[dante4242]

Is there some way to duplicate a minion so that when you select the minion ability you do not have to enter data in for five different minions?

Is there a way to just import a hero as a minion attached to a character?

If you want to do this, the easiest way is to add a new hero (Portfolio
menu -> Create New Hero), customize it to the appropriate points cost,
then duplicate it however many times you want. Unfortunately you can't
do this work "real" minions yet.

Sorry for resurrecting a death thread, but having just had to repeatedly enter the same information over and over again in creating the genric minions for a couple new Villians I was working on, I'd just like to say that having some way to copy or duplicate the stats of minions would be a very handy feature to add to a future update.

This is definitely on our to-do list, but (due to how Hero Lab works internally) it's going to be a major addition to Hero Lab, not just something we can do quickly for the M&M files. Hero Lab and the M&M files are a lot more mature than they were in 2008, so it's getting more and more important - we just haven't been able to fit it into our schedule yet.
