You can copy all components at once from one screen to another. But, to expand on what @kyleheney said…detail screens are attached to tables, so if you set a detail screen once, you can reuse it elsewhere.

Once ARCHIVE is appended to the email, it becomes an unowned row and is permanently hidden from the app. I’m doing this in an effort to speed up my app by hiding data that’s more than 2 years old. Unowned…
