"Duplicate Note" Conundrum

Michael Ransom

Hi everyone. I'm starting a project that requires multiple notes with identical text, labels, and tags, however each note will have unique verse anchors. Rather than creating a new note each time, I used the "Duplicate" function (Ctrl-click on the note tab, and select "Duplicate").

This results in a new note that exactly matches the original note. However … when I change anything in the new note, that change is automatically added to the original note (and v.v.). Deleting a word in the new note causes that same word to be deleted in the original note. Same with the note anchor. I tried changing the notebook for the new note, thinking that 2 identical notes in the same notebook might violate a database rule. Same result - changing the notebook in one note changes the notebook in the other note.

Is there a way to duplicate a note in a way that will allow the duplicated note to have its own edits? I've researched Logos Help, the forums, and YouTube for a solution and came up empty-handed. Thank you for any suggestions.

You are not duplicating the note; you are duplicating the tab. Both the original tab and the duplicated tab link to the same note. This is why changing the note in one tab updates the note in the other as well.

Would it work to copy/paste the content of the original note into a new note? I understand this may be a bit tedious, as the labels and tags would have to be selected again as well.
