Flexible Naming: Option to preserve the existing folder structure or specify a new one in the target collection.

How to Use:

Launch the "Var Transfer – Quick Variable Move" plugin.

Select your Source Collection (where variables are currently located).

Choose a specific Folder to Move or check "Move all folders" to transfer everything.

Select your Target Collection (where variables will be moved to).

Optionally, specify a New Folder name if you want to change the variable path in the target collection.

Click "Transfer Folder" (or "Transfer All Folders") to complete the migration. Original variables will be removed from the source.

Important Note: This plugin creates new variables in the target collection and then deletes the originals from the source. Always ensure you have a backup or understand the operation before proceeding.
