Works no mater your dlc, and on modded behavior as well.
Note before asking why it doesnt work on vanilla command
The title of my mod is a bit misleading. As you can see in the picture of the mod is used to be "copy default behavior". You can only copy an order that as been set as a default behavior. Taking a ship and right clicking somewhere and choose "explore" will give that ship an order and not a behavior. His default behavior is still "Hold position" if you open its information panel.
So yes, it does work with vanilla behavior, but you need to put them as default behavior not as a one time order.
HJ - Copy Behavior is a small UI utility that lets you copy the default behavior from one ship to another in Space Engineers. It has 122 endorsements and 7,805 downloads, and the author notes it still works on version 8.X without an update.
