Description

Discussed in https://github.com/orgs/wintercms/discussions/1394

Originally posted by helmutkaufmann August 2, 2025
When I create a website, I often want to move blocks around. However, this is very limited in the current blocks implementation, basically limiting me to the reordering of blocks in a repeater.
It would be great to have copy/past functionality, that allows be to copy and paste any block to any other location within my website that accepts blocks.

Research direction

The issue concerns the Repeater FormWidget and moving blocks between locations that accept blocks, but it names no files or tests. Read discussion 1394 first, then trace the existing block reordering behavior. Done means supporting copy and paste of any block to another compatible location.
