Saw it in the task bar, and the description says " Policy so and so was successfully cloned from so and so" with both so and sos being different from one another, so how can you clone a different policy package to the one you are cloning from?</P> Thu, 05 Mar 2020 16:27:09 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/How-to-clone-a-policy-package/m-p/77331#M11543 kb1 2020-03-05T16:27:09Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/How-to-clone-a-policy-package/m-p/77576#M11544 There isn't a "clone" option. <BR />You can, however, copy/paste rules between layers using the standard keyboard shortcuts.<BR />Or you can use the Python export/import script we've had on CheckMates for a while now.
