Best way to duplicate groupings within a single Mux?

[Scrubbing Monkeys]

What is the best way to duplicate a front panel layout to coincide with many repetitive modules within a single Mux?...or do I have to add every parameter individually?

I am trying to build a 6 channel mixer mux. It is using some features of the free DD channel strip along with some other things. Each group is basically a duplicate except for the in/out. The front panel elements are exactly the same they just control a different instance of DD channel. See attached picture.

What about this: Make a MUX for a single channel, then copy that MUX 5 times, and apply the differences to MUX 2-6.

That was my logic. ...kkkkkk. I tried but each mux opened it's own front panel. Can I get multiple muxs on the same front panel?

In M8 it's indeed not possible to integrate multiple front panels into a common parent front panel. I'll give that some thought.

Having a "MUX Front Panel" item on the front panel editor "Add Component" menu would be really good. If there could be a "VST Front Panel" as well, that would be great.

Thanks for the reply. It seems to be a useful feature.
I am only at the beginning of this rabbit hole but I am already excited about the possibilities of a one window multi track mixer even if I have to manually enter everything on the front panel.

I am aware that M8 has some significant front panel updates
I have the full M8 license for Mulab but only Mux 7 for now, so once I complete my test project ton Mux 7 I'll jump over to M8 and further some of my ideas.

With the new M8.8.4 update MUX front panels can include child MUX front panels.
That way front panels can be combined in a parent front panel.
