Duplicate Layers In Multiple Artboards - Photoshop 2019

Is there any way or script to copy layer to all artboards in Photoshop? Thank you in advance, because I could not find a solution

Solution 1:

Artboards are just specialized layer groups, which can be targeted with the document.layerSets property. In this working example (tested and working in Adobe PS CC 2019), I make the assumption that there is 1 layer we are copying and each artboard has 1 layer already in it. For a visual demo, check out this screencast gif: https://www.rebel-ist.com/img/example/duplicateArtboards.gif

var doc = app.activeDocument;

// assumes your bottom most artboard in the layer tree contains the layer you want to copy from AKA Artboard 1
var artBoardToCopyFrom = doc.layerSets[doc.layerSets.length - 1];

// assumes there is only 1 layer in this artboard that we need to target
var layerToCopy = artBoardToCopyFrom.layers[0];

// set that layer as the active layer
doc.activeLayer = layerToCopy;

// select all 
doc.selection.selectAll();

// copy the selection
doc.selection.copy();


// loop through each layerSet aka artboard except the last one -- no need to paste an additional copy into the bottom most layerSet
for (var g = 0; g < doc.layerSets.length - 1; g++) {

    // set layer 0 in this group as the active layer -- again assumes there is only one layer in each artboard
    doc.activeLayer = doc.layerSets[g].artLayers[0];

        // select all
    doc.selection.selectAll();

    // paste into selection aka create new layer and paste with mask
    doc.paste(true);
