Hi Justin,
We understand AI tooling is import to our users.
GitHub copilot did back port to 4.31 for us. We are waiting on LPEX interface for RDi to support it.
In the meantime, you can use a standby version of Eclipse and copy and paste between the releases.
I suspect the same could be said about IBM BOB. I assume it has a copy/paste feature that utilizes the clipboard.

It was actually the predecessor to Bob. I can't remember the exact name.
Yes, MS has a Copilot, and there's also GitHub Copilot. I was using it in the generic sense. Like Google & google, Xerox & xerox, and Kleenex & kleenex.

Vern, I think Justin was referring to the AI assistant, not "copilot"
as such.
If memory serves I think it's Bob or something like that?
Best regards,
