Hi Furcat,

I think it would definitely be faster with CMS Builder.

One way to do it is to set the "default content" in the field editor so when you add a new record the fields are pre-filled with whatever you want (this works for text fields and text boxes).

Another option is to try this hack/workaround for copying records:

Hope that helps! Let me know if either of those work for you.

I'm not wanting to copy records, I guess what I want to do is make a completely new section editor based upon one I have already made. Each one will have a different menu name, and will be a new website page.

Hi Furcat,

It might be simpler to do this with a multi-record section. You can set it up so certain users can only edit their own pages and it might be a lot less work.

Do you have some sample urls or examples of what you are trying to create?

Yea, I'd create a multi-record section called "Products" with fields for things such as:

Name
Category
Freq. Range
Product Image (upload field)
Data Sheet (upload field)

And then create a record for each product.
