Easily Convert Internal Lists to Global Lists

It would be great to be able to convert lists created in a process flow to a global list and not lose any of the fields that have been created.

Consider the following image:

I imagine instead of where it says "No Lists found", it could say "Create New List". This could even be added to the bottom of the floating menu if you already have multiple lists with a bar between the already created Lists and the "Create New List" like the bar between "Code Editor" and "List by Case" in the previous image.

This would improve ease of creating global lists and avoid loss of work when trying to copy an internal list to a global list. It would also improve the workflow of the modeler as you will be able to create a Global List in the process flow space and wouldn't need to go to the toolbox and then back to the process flow to direct the process flow list to the Global List.

@Cameron Pluim This is not an attack but shear curiosity. What is the use case for this? In all the models we currently build we do the logic in process flow so all the lists stay in process flow. I have never had an urge or reason to change that in global list, so I would like to know why you do that? (assuming you want this functionality because you needed it ;-) )

@steven.hamoen I find that often I try to pull from that list through code (whether it is to actually pull an item off, or to see how many items match a specific query), and I haven't seen a good way to reference the list if it is an internal list through code.

Ok thanks. We actually never use code but always process flow to check a list. With the "Use Max Wait Timer" and the "Leave on list" options it is very easy to perform all kinds of checks.
