I have some buttons linked to screens. The first and second ar linked to the same screen. I can copy the second button, but not the first and I don’t understand why ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/7/f7e58c0a7b8be34a303735945443687cc9af7afc.jpeg) ! ---

Can you try duplicating your app to see if the copy action work there? ---

Perhaps publish and share your app so people can try themselves? In my experience it’s often a small issue which has been overlooked… ---

@profechef Thanks for reporting this. Glide is aware of the issue of not being able to copy Form components and it is being worked on. ---

@George_B Thanks. I’ve read about that issue, but this is not a form button so I’ve decided to report as a different one as I don’t know if the problem is the same ---

I experienced something related. However, I could copy the buttons, and the conditions for showing were copied too, but somehow they did not function as they should. Probably a naming or redirection error somewhere. Had to recreate them manually for them to work.
