How to disable ControlRepositorySymbols being automatically added at the bottom of the copied steps code?

Posted on by paddelia

When I copy things between PAD and a text editor, I often do this by picking steps here and there in my PAD flows and paste it to a text file for editing or add to GIT. Now I have to get rid of the ControlRepositorySymbols huge block because I need only one of these per text file. I wish I could check a box to either generate or not generate the ControlRepositorySymbols block when copying steps.
Did anyone found a solution?
Thanks

    not possible imaho, although this might be actually beneficial if you are using git to manage changes, as this will allow you to manage the changes in UI elements in addition to the flow logic.

    So if you for example change ui element being clicked, your git version will fail if you did not keep the repository.
    If you keep the repository - you can revert to previous logic and UI elements.
