Can you copy a path into a different layer?

I keep trying to paste a path into a different layer, but it's not working. Am I doing something wrong? I have version 2.8.16

If you really mean layers within the same image. There is no need to copy. A path acts on any layer.

If you mean between images

Click-and-Drag from the layers dock works here. Linux: Gimp 2.8.22

If that does not work for you, then export the path as somename.svg Then in the other image, import it.

Should have looked at the docs. There is a path copy-paste function but it is accessed from the Paths dialogue.

That is a right click in the Paths dock to bring up the menu. Then Copy or Paste as appropriate.

If it is the same image, it is the same as duplicating the path.
