I'm running into issues duplicating tables because of field counts.

I can create a new table and copy a record over and it pastes all the correct fields but all the links and lookups are broken.

My newest method is to link the record back to a main table and bring in all the fields as lookups but that as a (from {Table}) to the end of each field. A) is there a way to prevent that addendum to the field name OR a way to bulk remove it? Like with an script and via API calls?

Yeap you could loop through the fields and update them via the script extension, I don't think you'd need to do API calls: https://support.airtable.com/docs/scripting-extension-overview

Depending on how many fields you're looking at might be simpler to just handle it manually via the Field Manager though: https://support.airtable.com/docs/field-manager-and-field-dependencies
