Ability to clone workspaces
We use the same processes over and over with each new client and would like to have a workspace per client. It would be nice to simply be able to clone the way a workspace is set up previously rather than to have to search out each app needed each time.

Sure, you can clone the apps individually https://help.podio.com/entries/21678836-Cloning-an-app
Or you can publish all apps to your private app market and install all apps in one click from here:

Problem is, this doesn't allow the apps to be prepopulated with app items pre-relating to one another.
For example, I've got a client who wants to create a template for all their projects, with all the steps, deliverables, milestones, etc. all planned out and cross-referenced.
They could publish their apps to the market and install the app-pack, but it'd be empty when it came.

I have a far different reason - project management for multiple organizations. I need to be able to clone a workspace as well. I have a project management workspace that works very well for anything I do. I make minor adjustments but the foundation is there. currently I have to clone each app separately. ****But I have found that the relationships still turn back to the original apps in the other workspace. Not helpful as I need to go in and change all of that. This makes it slow and tedious to scale. I tried posting the app group publicly and it is always pending review. I can't utilize that either.

Similar questions have been posted too, if we upvote them all then maybe we'll get a result?

This is really needed. I manually have to create a workspace for every client and then clone each app. It is very time consuming. The app market doesn't cut the mustard because you can't get pre-loaded app content. In conjunction with this I often update security alerts, or messages to each workspace. I can spend half an hour or more posting one message to all workspaces. There needs to be a way to post a message to a specific app (or general Activity) line to multiple workspaces.

Thanks Pablo.
I've requested this before. Here are two posts you can upvote on.

Perhaps this new extension from our partner Phases can help you until we have a better solution from Podio: https://podio.com/extensions/51?
This can help you clone entire workspaces.

Mike, is your workflows related to same app or linked between multiple apps? If you have relationships and workflows to apps in the same workspace you can share an app pack and install still in new workspaces to maintain the workflows:
