I love the copy feature and use it often, but it be so much faster for data entry if we had the ability to choose if the copy was either Inline copy or just copy screen. I know 90% of the time I would pick INLINE copy!!!
It be a cool feature!

I have been leaving out "Copy" in builds. What does this do? How are you using it, Kim?

Oh it is a great feature, say you got tons of data to enter in the database and most of it is the same but for a few fields. You can just click copy and then it brings up a new record with that same info in, you edit what you want different and save and it saved you a ton of typing.
Many of my customers use pricing or the have ads on their sites, and out of the 10 fields 7 remain the same for each record for that situation, so now they just need to edit 3 records instead of 10.
What I like to see with it being an inline copy instead of shooting you off to an add screen. It be a bigger time savings and you could click copy of the record line you want say 10 times and it open 10 copies on the screen and you can edit what you want and save all and they all save. It be lots faster process than it is now.
