Copying and pasting a data grid form?

Post by keithglong » Fri Dec 02, 2011 6:19 am

Hi All,

Okay, I am at a loss. I have a stack with several cards... On one card I have a custom data grid form with graphics and several text fields... What I want to do is copy the data grid and then paste it onto another card--which works fine. The problem is, I am unclear about how to create a new template for the pasted data grid... When I make minor changes to the template, the changes are also applied to the original data grid on the previous card...

How can I create a new template for the pasted data grid so that I can make changes to it without affecting the original data grid? I want to find a way to do this without having to recreate the second data grid from scratch, because there are only minor changes and it would be quite time-consuming to say the least...

I found the following link, but it does not really explain what I am looking for:

Thanks,

Can you use the inspector to view the Content of the Data Grid? If so then perhaps you can select the content there and copy it. I've done something similar in my stacks.
