When creating a custom page I need to add dozens of new fields. Lots of times its quite repetitive.
for example if I create the following:

Resident Rate for monday textfield resident_rate_for_monday

I have to retype the following from scratch (I make many typo's)

Resident Rate for tuesday textfield resident_rate_for_tuesday

Could you add a simple duplicate option to make data entry easier.

You bet, I'll put that on the feature request list and we'll get it added in the next couple versions. Historically we've been releasing an update every 1-2 weeks.

Just an updated on this. I've added a "Save & Copy" button to the next release (v1.11).

Along similar lines...

I'm looking for a quick way to create multiple versions of a standard Section Editor (like the default presets that come with CMSB). I suppose I could adapt one of the files in /data/schemaPresets/. Is that the best option? Or is there a discrete file created elsewhere when I make a new Section Editor that I can copy into /data/schemaPresets/ from somewhere else?

Thx!

Jayme,

Yes, if you create a section editor you can just copy it's file from /data/schema/ to /data/schemaPresets/ and it will become a preset.

Let me know if you need any more help with that.
