That’s a great use case! Then you can test out different layouts of the same tab and hide the versions you’re not using or want to use later! 👌 ---

I agree…especially when you have compound actions or link to screens attached to buttons and have to build out an entire SCREEN all over again. In due time I’m sure. ---

Beside a better copy functionality I would like a group component where I can group some child components and set the visibility settings in the group container for the childs. I often did the same settings for multiple components. Or to group checkboxes and allow only one to be true would also be great. Optional group title, collapse function… Diffrent styles… ---

+1 for the copy tab. When you link to another screen, it would be a real time saver to not have to build your screen from scratch, especially if it has a lot of components e.g. inline lists etc… ---

Yes!!! I am tired of having to manually recreate tables… This would be really helpful! Also, +1 for copy&paste behavior. ---

bump up. I share the frustration. I am new, created a list page, and would like to copy the settings of that list page to a menu tab. so basically copy and existing page settings then paste it instead of starting from scratch. ---

Such a useful feature it could be and so many people interested… Yet no reaction?☹ ---

> [@matt](#): > > I’m building forms and have many choice components that are very similar. Currently, I have to create each choice component from scratch. It would be very useful if I could create a component, configure it then create multiple copies of it, and simply edit those copies. Duplicating tabs is now possible ! 🎉 ---

Where is the option to duplicate a table found? I’m not seeing it in the obvious places. Thank you. ---

Duplicating a Glide table is still only a feature in staging. I don’t believe it’s possible in production as of yet. Duplicating a google sheet table can easily be done within the google sheet. ---

Thanks Jeff, I was asking based on Aymen’s note above, but maybe I misunderstood what he was stating. ---

Yeah, he’s referring to tabs. Not tables. ---

Definitely looking forward to duplicating Glide Tables, plus the original post request. I’m trying to make my apps with Glide Tables only, but am seeing some of the limitations. ---
