Duplicating saves time and keeps your forms consistent. Instead of rebuilding a visit, a step or a question, you copy it in one click and adjust what needs to change.
You can duplicate sections (visits), sub-sections (steps or forms) and individual questions. Everything inside comes with it: questions, options, validations and logic.
Duplicate an item
đ ď¸ Step by step guide
Open the Builder of your form: eCRF, ePRO, eConsent, Recruitment or Subject Database.
Find the section, sub-section or question you want to copy.
Click the duplicate icon, two overlapping squares, next to its name.
In the pop-up, rename the copy, and add a prefix or suffix if that helps.
Click Submit. The copy appears directly below the original.
â ď¸ Warning: always open the copy and review it. The conditional logic and validation rules came across intact, which means they may still point at the original context and no longer make sense where the copy now sits. Check the naming too: two items with near-identical names are a reliable source of confusion later.
When to use it
đĄ Tip: duplication is most useful for repeated visits that share a structure, and for common question blocks you use more than once in the same form.
To reuse content in a different study, duplication will not help you. Use templates instead, which cross between studies.
