Property Type Category Description
Comment String standard Describes the object comment to include in the documentation report.
This property generally contains an explanation about the object.
Is active boolean standard Defines whether the step is active.
Name of the copy JS expression expert Defines the name of the duplicated object (file or directory).
Duplicating in the same parent folder, the copied file or directory name must be updated. This name must be different from original file or directory name.
Output boolean expert Defines whether the XML generated by this step should be appended to the resulting XML.
Set this property to true to add the step’s resulting XML to the sequence’s output XML (default value for steps generating XML). Set this property to false to prevent the steps’s XML result to appear in the sequence’s output XML.
Setting this property to false does not prevent the step’s generated XML from being used as a source by other steps.
Overwrite boolean expert If a file or folder with the same name as the Name of the copy property exists in current directory, this property defines whether to overwrite it.
By default this property is set to false, so the previously existing file or folder will not be overwritten if already present in current directory.
Source JS expression expert Defines the path of the file or directory to duplicate.
This property is a JavaScript expression that is evaluated during the sequence execution and gives the path of the file or directory to duplicate.
This path is either absolute or relative to Convertigo environment. Relative paths starting with:

• ./ are relative to Convertigo workspace,
• .// are relative to current project folder.
