Microsoft Lists - How to duplicate a record?
Hi, all. I'd like to duplicate a record (or row) in Microsoft Lists. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help provided.
This is NOT a fix, it's NOT a solution however it is a kludge* so I could copy and paste extensive rows
1. Open MS-Access
2. Connect to the list (External Data/New Data Source/From Online Services/SharePoint List...)
3. Open the linked table and copy and paste to your hearts content
4. Refresh the SharePoint List and the new record(s) are there
5. Wonder why this isn't available natively in SharePoint Lists and go for a well earned coffee.
* an ill-assorted collection of parts assembled to fulfill a particular purpose.- You can do this with a simple flow in Power Automate and a JSON-formatted button to trigger the flow. You'd need get item then create item actions.
If you have a view with all fields then you can
- edit the date in grid view
- mark the whole row you want to copy
- press CTRL-C
- Click on "Add a new Item"
- press CTRL-V
- exit grid view

Nope, doesn't work. Pastes the value in the last column I copied into the first column of the new row.
Have you done this yourself?SvenSieverding This doesn't work, it just pastes all the content into the first field.
Marcus_Pohl It is possible using edit in grid view. Follow these steps:
