Copying components to another position

If you create a position for which the components (responsibilities, qualifications and working conditions) are similar to those of an existing position, you can copy the position components from the existing position to your new position. You can also use this option to copy specific components to multiple positions. For example, if you added an English language skill to a position associated with the EUROPE position category and this skill should be required for all positions in the EUROPE position category, you can copy the position's skills to all positions associated with the EUROPE category.

Note: 

This action does not overwrite existing components in the target position. It jsut adds components that do not exist in the target component.
