Bucketing - copying from another survey

When I do reporting, I often want to look at regional differences, either at the US Census regional level or division level. In the survey itself, I typically ask their State using a drop-down question.
I can then go to Data & Analysis>Tools>Create Variable and then create a new Region variable, and bucket the states into their regions. This is tedious. Since I have done it in other surveys, is it possible to copy over the bucketed variable? I know how to copy a question from another survey, but is it possible to copy the variable?

BruceK I'm not sure about copying variables, but if you build the bucketing into your survey flow as an embedded data variable then if you copy over the entire survey the bucketing will carry through within the survey flow.
