While we are all waiting for the functionality to copy Forma geometry from Project to Project I will share with you one workflow using Dynamo Player for Forma.
It is not perfect because the copied geometry is interpreted as External Source, this has some limitations for instance at the moment of me typing we cannot swap functions, but hey! better than nothing...
I am using Dynamo Sandbox btw cause we are on Revit 2022.
The Logic is very simple, you create the below script where you collect the element you want to copy from project A to project B.
Confirm selection, press run, but dont add the geometry to the Project A, remember? we want it Project B.
Now swap to a different project in Forma but keep Dynamo Sandbox open.
Select your proposal in Project B and open Dynamo Player in Forma, remember Sandbox is open in the background with the previous dataset loaded.
Now! select the same script otherwise Sandbox will swap the dyn and reset the data.
Now go to Dynamo Sandbox and uncheck Select Elements Is input and refresh Dynamo player, and Run, this order is important.
This time remember to press Add, to add the geometry into Project B, here is the magic because select elements is now not an input Dynamo Sandbox is using the dataset from the previous selection.
et voila!, you have now the geometry copied in project B.
As noted before the copied geometry is not Forma Native Geometry so it has important limitations.
Dyn attached below.
