I'm finding the Duplicate Field function to be very handy in building a form with a lot of repetitive fields (long story short, it has to be built this way or prospective users won't buy in), but I wish I could duplicate an entire Group. The only actions I can take on a Group are to delete it, change the permissions, change the appearance, set rules for visibility.

If only there was such an action as Group>Duplicate. Anyone know of a trick or extension? I can't find anything.

Also, does this seem like a thing that form-builders want to do? I haven't seen anyone asking for it anywhere else.

re: If only there was such an action as Group>Duplicate. Anyone know of a trick or extension? I can't find anything.

Not that I'm aware of I'm afraid.  Could try scripting something to help you with it the field creation maybe?  You'd still need to manually set up the form though


Hi @TheTimeSavingCo  thanks for sharing this information 


I would also find it extremely useful if this feature existed!

Airtable’s forms won’t actually let you duplicate anything — you can’t duplicate groups of fields, nor can you duplicate individual fields themselves.

If you’re looking to duplicate elements on your form, your #1 best bet is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including:

Fillout also offer hundreds of other advanced Airtable features as well, such as the ability to update Airtable records using a form, create brand new linked records on a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, collect signatures on your form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, and much more.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

Hope this helps!
