Hi misty2u,

I wanted to provide you with some additional information to my response. To make things a bit easier for you, after you place the new object in the designer screen, you can copy the actions from the original field and place them within the new field.

Here are the steps that you should take:

1. In the new object click on Copy Actions

2. In the Action dropdown, select the original field that has the actions you like to copy from

I hope that helps you further.

Hi misty2u,

The fields that are available on the customized screen designer come from the table that the screen is based from. In order to have the same field duplicated in the designer, you need to create this field in the table which will then appear in the designer. It will appear under the "Add Field" tab where you can add it to the screen.

I hope that helps.

Is there a way in screen design to copy a field and then make changes to your copy?
