Change train station already added to schedule

Previously:

Change train station already added to schedule
copy/paste individual wait conditions between stations within one schedule

Practical case:

in my experience, I manage more than 30 spaceships that send items from one planet to another. Each ship sends a different item, but the condition is always the same. Right now, I must manually recreate each stop and condition for every new ship, which is tedious and error-prone.

Blueprints containing a Space Platform Hub include the Schedule when applied to a new Ship. It will leave it in “Paused thrust”, so manual action is still required to activate the new ships.

You can also use Interrupts to synchronize condition changes between multiple Ships.

Good Luck!

[Koub] Merged into an older suggestion thread aimed at fixing the same issue.
[Edit] Actually merged several threads

+1 to this. I'm surprised we don't have this already, given how many similar QoL things were already added (drag to reorder for example, which is fantastic).

(Maybe it's secretly already been implemented for 2.1...!)

I am definitely looking forward to this. Adding or change a platform destination is cumbersome when you have to use the same 5+ conditions.

For yet another use case, I tend to design my initial space platforms so that they buffer metallic asteroid chunks and need to spend some time over a planet to process them into ammunition, so that I can devote less space to smelting (and to the power to support smelting).

So for reliability I need to add conditions to my schedules for platforms to wait until they have adequate ammunition buffered up before they travel to another planet.

It is frustrating to have to duplicate this identical entry to every departure condition. And it's not just different planets, but it can be multiple times for a single planet! For example, when departing on "inactivity OR time passed OR all requests satisfied", I would have to add the ammo condition three times.

It would go a lot more smoothly if I could copy paste conditions.
