Copy as Custom

[JawshTheDark]

Ask a Question!

Currently having issues with the copy as custom function. It doesnt really seem to do anything besides take you to the area to create a custom template. One would assume it should be filled with the info of whatever template id been attempting to copy. Went to the portainer website, talked to the "ai", it said it should work exactly as i thought, told me to come here and ask, and then escalate if needed.

I believe this is a bug, I am encountering it too. I am actually here because of a web search I just did to solve this exact problem. When I click Copy as Custom, the portainer webUI seems to stall and chug for a second, so maybe itd be worth checking out whatever logs would have that.

I am just an amatuer so I dont know where to even look for logs, but I do remember trying portainer last year and "Copy as Custom" actually did copy the template.

Is there any fix, it seems to reload couple times and put me into empty template..

Same, issue still in Portainer Business Edition 2.21.5

Hello, I can not reproduce this on 2.21.5, please see my recording. Are there any additional details regarding your environments you can share for me to reproduce this?

I have reviewed your video and wanted to show you that it does not work by replicating your actions exactly, but my "Application" list was different.

You use: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portainer/templates/v3/templates.json"
I use: "https://templates-portainer.ibaraki.app" or "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/main/templates.json"

because I wanted to add Immich. When I use de default it indeed works as designed. Add Immich to the default list and I'd be happy for now, but I still would like to use Lissy93's or ibaraki's list though, since they are more comprehensive.

I am having exactly the same issue. My existing host had a drive failure, so brand new install of BE, if I use a custom list, copy as custom fails as described by others.

I am using a https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/main/templates.json and in the browser console I see some javascript 404 errors, when I click on "Copy as Custom":

Thanks for raising this, I have raised it internally for investigation.

@JawshTheDark Can you please try this that I see the community use - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TomChantler/portainer-templates/refs/heads/v3/templates_v3.json

It seems the one you are using is version2 which isn't supported anymore

I can confirm the one given in your last post does work.

If you were wondering. I was using the JSON outlined in this Reddit post.
