Is there a way to duplicate screens that are not linked and are totally independent? Currently, if I duplicate a screen, any changes I make to the copy are reflected in the original and vice versa. The same thing happens if I copy individual components between screens. Right now, if I want the sa…

You are kind of misleading us with the information you are providing. You mentioned duplicating a Tab, but that’s not what you are showing us. What your screenshots show are a detail screen that’s different from the tab screen. You are most likely showing something below the Tab level screen. I c…

I think that largely depends on how you are duplicating the screen and how you are navigating to that screen. Tabs are always independent. Detail screens are inherently linked to the underlying table. New screens should usually be independent. You may need to describe in detail how you navigate …

I want duplicate this tab. [image] In duplicated Tab (Copy) I want to switch the accent color of that button: [image] If I do that, that button will change color not only on duplicated tab but original too. Why? Note: this is the simplest example, 'couse everything I do on duplicated, it makes…

Seeing the back arrow here. [image] I think it might be a details screen, and the behaviour is correct.

Ahh, good point. I would agree then that it’s working as expected. Top level of a Tab should always be independent, but navigating to a detail screen below that top level would definitely have the design attached to the underlying table. Changing to use the ‘Show New Screen’ action instead of the…

That’s the point, aren’t both the components of the duplicate and the original supposed to be independent? Why are they linked?

The components at the top level are independent, but it looks like you are then navigating below that top tab level to the detail screen for one of your techs? It’s the tech detail screen that’s linked to the tech table.

Yes. Both tabs are linked to the same source of data. I just want to make some changes: maybe colors or some data filters. My question is the same, why are the are linked? [image]

Ok. I guess I’ve never duplicated a tab like that. Instead I’ll usually copy and paste components if I need to duplicate a screen. I would say that is a bug. Based on everything I’ve ever experienced and known about tabs, I would never expect different tabs to be linked in that way.
