Duplicate a Layout

A “Duplicate Layout” menu option would be useful for those seemingly frequent times I seem to want to make a copy of a Layout. (A “Duplicate Card” for classic Cards would be nice too).

Why do I need this? Well, when I’m building an App I will often create a ‘vanilla’ card/layout called Resources with most of my design elements on (headers, navigation, groups, fields, buttons, colourised objects etc). All the settings and styling for each of these objects is made on the Resources card/layout. I can then just copy / paste the objects I need to new cards and theoretically I get preconfigured objects on my new card/layout (it doesn’t always seem to work). A lot of the time I use between 70% and 90% of everything on the Resources card/layout. If I could simply duplicate the Resources card and rename it each time I need a new screen in my apps, a lot of my work is done in a single action rather than 10, 15 or 20 actions and more importantly all the styling and configuration for each object is retained throughout the app. All I then need to do adjust the copied card/layout as necessary.

Hi @J9V6 thank you for your post, apologies for the late reply I have been on annual leave. You can currently duplicate layouts using the message box with “clone this stack” this should create a complete copy of the current layout. The same should work for cards too. Let me know if you run into any issues or experience any bugs with this!

I did not know that! Thanks, I’ll give it a go. :+1:
