Create a folder with a template folder

I would like to create (in Javascript) a folder according to an already existing folder as a template. Is that possible? So far, I just know how to create an empty folder, but I would like to create a folder, with some folder structure, rules and permisions inside. Anyone can give me a hand? Thanks a lot!

My js code by now is the following:

var origin = bpm_package.children[0].parent;                              
var destination = origin.createFolder("New folder");

Hi roseta,

Yes, that's possible. You just need the noderef of the space template you want to copy:

var spaceTemplate = companyhome.childByNamePath("/Data Dictionary/Space Templates/<Folder Name>");


if (spaceTemplate != null) {
       var origin = bpm_package.children[0].parent;                              
       var destination = spaceTemplate.copy(origin, true);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

That should work. Just replace the <Folder Name> with the space template name you want to copy.
