Hi Everyone, am I only experiencing that you cannot copy/duplicate a screen in Editor? I’m using windows 10. This usually can go easy with CTRL+C then CTRL+V. Thanks! ---

I confirm. Met with the same problem. It’s been going on for two days now… ---

Hello, sometimes it happens. The solution is to select all the components and make them a group and then create a new blank screen and paste the group there. Thank you! ---

Same problem here. Workarounds are no the answer. Being able to copy and paste is. ---

Checked again today. Some screens can be copied and pasted… Most - not possible! 🤔 ---

For any screen that contains a custom list, you must group the custom list so that the custom list is nested within a group (even if it’s grouped by itself). Screens with custom lists can only be copied and pasted when the custom lists have been nested in a group. It is an odd bug, indeed. ---

Hi Guys, I also faced this issue today that I couldn’t copy and paste the screen. Not to another app and it’s for the same app. Then what I did was I selected that screen and while clicking the **Alt key** I dragged the screen to the editor. And also what Flawless mentioned is there for some time ( [Can’t copy/paste screens - #7 by dilon\_perera](https://forum.adalo.com/t/can-t-copy-paste-screens/27847/7) ) and I informed Adalo Team about that but still not fixed unfortunately. Hope that will be fixed soon! Thank you ---

Now it’s not. Some screens with ungrouped custom lists are copied. And screens that do not have lists are not copied. ---

I confirm. Now this is the only correct solution to the problem. ---
