Enterprise Guide Prompts

Can an Enterprise Guide prompt be saved, so it can be referenced and used on different EG projects? I'm running EG 6.1.

Prompts in SAS Enterprise guide are specific to that particular project only and can be used by SAS EG only. You may need prompts for Stored processes if you want to use global prompts for multiple projects.

Do you want to save the "value" that the user ends up entering for a prompt, or the metadata about the prompt (name, type, length, etc.)

I would like to be able to save the prompt itself. If that's possible, other users in my group will be able to just 'include' the same prompt in their EG projects without having to recreate the prompt.

No, this is not possible.

I'm afraid I don't know any way to do that. It would be nice, I agree!
