Description This article discusses copying and pasting policies for testing or making small changes while preserving the rest of the policy.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

Instead of creating entirely new policies for testing or making minor changes, it is often possible to just copy and paste any policy and then make minor changes.


Start with the original policy.

'Right-click' on the policy and select Copy.

'Right-click' again on the policy and select Paste, either Above or Below. The copied policy will always be disabled at first so it is possible to place it above as in this example.

In this example, a source object was added, for a Test-PC allowing us to test from one particular computer and not disrupt the main policy.
