How can I duplicate a screen ?

7

As I know, it is not available to duplicate a screen, but in any case why do we need to have this as screens are logically separated units to work with. While being in a folder how can we make its copy into the parent directory, we have to go one level up but here main project is the parent of all screens. Might be there some external tools to do so, but sorry I am not aware of them. Thanks

You cannot duplicate a screen though you can add one and then replicate the screen you are trying to "duplicate" and the code for it if there is any

Use Ctrl+C to copy a component and Ctrl+V to paste it

do NOT duplicate screens... this is considered bad programming practice...
separate logic and data and use only one screen together with some logic to display your data
