Hi guys.
I am looking for a way to let the user duplicate the current screen and remove the data (values) from it, or simply just add a new screen…
The app I am building is a note-taking app of when and why the user was away from office. It’s finished but I just noticed that it would be great to have the ability to start a new year by start a new screen/sheet. Instead of having to delete all the rows by hand as I need to today, this way I could also provide a backlog for the user in my app.
Is this possible, or is a reset-button the only way to go here?
Thanks!

You don’t need to create a new screen. If you are using variables or a data source to display the notes and other information on the screen, then just switch to a different variable/data source row when needed to display a different year’s info.

Ah yeas of curse! Thanks, great idea 
But…what if I want the user to create that data source…? I do not have any source for 2022 at the moment for example. Do I need to prepare a bunch of sources which I can use later? That doesn’t seem to professional

You can easily create additional data rows for future years ahead of time. But I wouldn’t do that. I would just use Firebase and create the data as needed using time stamps. That’s what I’m doing for a photo journal I’m making. Every node of the Firebase database has a name like 2021-05-18_15:54:28 which is a combination of the date and time the entry was made.
But even if you use something like Google Sheets or Airtable, it’s easy to just add a column for a date/time stamp like that. Then when you want to show 2022 data, you just sort or filter the rows by that column.

Thanks, yes that sounds much more professional 
Do you know if there is any good tutorials about this somewhere I can have a look at? Do you got any?
I will check this out more in depth later maybe tonight. Thanks!

No, I don’t know of any tutorials, sorry. There may be some… I’ve just been figuring this out on my own (with help from people here, of course!).
