Great! Question: if Glide can duplicate columns, I suppose that the IT process is ā€œCopyā€ ā†’ ā€œInsertā€. Copy-Insert in other tabs would be great! ---

In general an action to add and remove column would be amazing both in the current sheet and in others ---

Iā€™ve already used this a dozen times since last night. Especially for construct URL columns when I need 3-4 columns that are nearly identicalā€¦saved me 20 minutes. ---

Basically all the new copy/paste and now the duplicate column are a huge change in making glide so much easier and user friendly. Iā€™m using this now all the time and canā€™t even accumulate the amount of time it saved me. Next is COPY ACTIONS AS A WHOLE šŸ˜‰ ---

Its like glide is reading my mind, just last week was thinking ā€˜Glide should put a copy paste column functionā€™ and yesterday BOOM! is here. ---

One thing I particularly like about this is that it immediately opens the duplicated column in edit mode so that you can go ahead and tweak it. BUTā€¦ Iā€™ve noticed that editing it can be a little flakey. Sometimes the cursor just stops responding, and you need to save it without editing and then edit it again. Has anyone else noticed that? ---

Happens to me in regular edit as well not only in duplicated columns
