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… 🤔)? Thanks a lot! 🙂 ---

🙋‍♂️ Yes please! Quiet a few times I’d have found that feature useful! ---

This ☝. I’ve tried numerous times in the past to copy-and-paste a whole column, before realizing only the cell data pastes (not the column format/settings). ---

Yes. +1. I’ve wanted this often. ---

> [@Copy and past format across columns](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/copy-and-past-format-across-columns/9523?u): > > Love Coda. Would love even more when I’m able to “copy and paste” a column format to other column. Like the “Format Painter” from Excel or Sheets. Or even crtl+select more than one column and change their format in one go. Hope you guys are planning on implementing that. wink ---

Yes. +1. I’ve wanted this often. 8 and more slider columns have to done one by one via hand. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/2X/3/38dcf2924b34c69fd7c8d753ed0160122087d0a5.png) ---

+1 would be useful! Replicating a column multiple times gets cumbersome (especially with with complex settings) ---

I agree - this really needs to be done! Every time I have a select or a number column (for example, preparing a yearly budget) I run into this. It’s irritating that I have to start from plain text every time and then fill in the details and change the column settings 1 field at a time. I estimate you could save your customers 4-5 minutes per page if you do this ---

👍 Even just letting the user “Copy a Column” and then paste the column so that only the name needs to be changed. Instead – especially if you have a unique column type where you want to not only edit the column type, but also the options of the sub-type – this can become very arduous. ---

I was searching for a `Duplicate Field` somewhere, no later than yesterday 😅 . As I couldn’t find it, I also think it would be a great and very useful addition 😊 ! ---

+1 even adding columns with a button or other action. dupplicating most settings and setting specific elements. My use case I want to create a table with a column for each week. at the end of the year adding the weeks for next year would be nice (and hiding the weeks of last year) ---

Hi @Pieter_Lesage, I appreciate your support for the request (I’m confident that - sooner or later - we will see it). However, if your table structure has to change periodically, maybe it’s a sign you have to transpose your data into columns and then just display them grouped by. If you want to share your use-case, I’d be happy to have a look. Cheers! ---

And it’s finally here!! > [@Launched: Easily Duplicate Columns](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/launched-easily-duplicate-columns/20729): > > tl;dr - You can quickly copy a column with its values and settings, or just its settings, from the column menu in your tables. We’ve all been there: You’ve made the perfect table with every column formatted perfectly for you and your team’s needs. But as the project expands, you suddenly need to add more data to the table in a new column. While aiming for parity between columns, you realize you have check the settings of your existing column, then create a new column, and then update the column… ---
