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.

    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

    Best Regards,
    Sven

      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?

        What is frustrating is that this USED to work or rather, used to work intermittently.

        Now it just doesn't work, period.

    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.
