Weโ€™re currently using airtable as a pretty advanced project management system, so we commonly have about 40-60 columns per table, and weโ€™ll also have 20+ views per table as well.

With this many columns/views, and many of them being the same (as far as โ€˜column orderโ€™ goes), weโ€™d love to be able to copy the column order (and other view attributes) and paste it into another view.

If this copy/paste function could be similar to the Adobe products where you can copy/paste โ€˜layer stylesโ€™, that would be great! So, if the โ€˜hidden fieldsโ€™, โ€˜filtersโ€™, โ€˜grouped byโ€™ and โ€˜column orderโ€™ could be copied and pasted (applied) to another view, that would be ideal. It would be even better if I could select which items Iโ€™d like to be copied, and which ones to start fresh on.

Thoughts on this?

Yes, please! I have two tables for a group of youth, one for male and one for female, accessible by their corresponding leaders. The columns in the tables are the same, other than their names. I can duplicate the table to create the columns I want, but then I have to retype all the names. The ability to copy and paste columns would be a huge help. Or if there was the ability to merge two tables, specifying the columns you wanted to keep from each, would work for me as well.
