Copy Component Does Not Keep States

[Syeds]

I have searched other similar posts but was not exactly clear. I have a component state of a Date flied dropdown labeled "From". I want to duplicate it with a "To" label. Instead of working as it should it loses all its states/behaviors. I really do not want to do all of it again. I tried the reccommended alternatives form other posts but I cannot get it to work.

FYI: My company is blocking Dropbox so I cannot post the XD file.

Hey there. Didn't understand, are you duplicating the whole component, creating an instance, or are you copying a state within a component? Can you upload some screenshots of what you're trying to achieve?

P.S. If you're trying to make another main component out of this one, you have to create a new file, copy it there, and then copy it from that file back to the original file.

I will try to post screenshots but I do not think they will help much. In the meantme, I did put in a request for the IT at my company to give me access to Dropbox.

I am trying to copy an entire component and not just specific states. The states copy but they are not wired so I have to go and manually repeat all the steps again which I do not want to do if I can avoid it. I want to duplicate the "From" component and just change the label to "To".

Thank you for your suggestion. I did try that but the component lost all of the behaviors in the new file after I copied it from its original location. I do not want ot delay this any longer, I am just going to have to wire up the prototype on the duplicate.
