Hi there,

Last days I have had to create tables with quite a number of date columns. Since in Europe date format is dd/mm/YY, I have to select every time the date type (not a big deal when you are creating it, but a step more), and then I have to change date format once for every column.

Although Coda is more powerful than any GUI sheet in a lot of aspects, so many manual tasks are unnecesary.

I wonder if some copy and paste column format is in the works. It would save a nice number of repetitive tasks

Yes, this is something in the request queue since a while:

> [@Duplicate Column Settings](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/duplicate-column-settings/12136):
>
> A “duplicate column with same settings” action would increase dramatically tables creation productivity. Such as “duplicate field” in Airtable. I searched a lot but I didn’t see this request popping out: am I the only one who need it (or I simply didn’t find it… thinking)? Thanks a lot! slight_smile

Eagerly waiting for this 😬
