Hi there.

Is it possible to create a new field by making the exact copy of an existing field. For example, I have a form which adds some content to a specific category. So I need there the Article_category_id field but hidden and with the default value (which is the id of that category). It would be easy to make a copy of the Article_category_id field and then just set the default value I need. But I don't see this option.

Thank you.

Hi,

there is no copy field currently, but is is fairly easy to replicate field's settings so it should not be a problem

Apparently not for me :) I tried to replicate Article_category_id and the new field didn't work properly. But I'm newbie, so...

It is important that you exactly replicate fields storage settings as this field uses native joomla tables
