Duplicating/copying a field in a form

Ali Hoyt

Is it possible to copy/duplicate a field in a form? My current workaround is to create a new field and copy/paste the same info over from the field I want to copy/duplicate, but that is very tedious and not ideal. Is there any easier workaround/solution?

Hoping this gets implemented soon, really need to copy various fields, also a good idea is to have groups, like the divider function as section identifier and the user can copy the whole section, it is useful for multi-data entry with a section defining some general information for the same data entry.

Hello @Andrée Starå ,

I am also looking to copy a field to save LOTS of time in Smartsheet. Is this still not possible even though @Ali Hoyt and @Alfonzo Trinidad Baca Alvarado brought this up and submitted a request in 2021?

Thank you,

Brian

For whatever reason I cannot use the Vote Up feature so I commenting to add my vote to include copy/paste in Forms as an enhancement. Thank you.
