    Copy or duplicate data groups or steps

    I have a step in InfoPath which is in its own section with its own controls and a data set group (folder) of its own. This step is fairly generic (so I would like to copy and paste as much as possible to save time), how can I copy the data set group (you can copy and paste the section) so that I can then change the bindings to the new data group (I would have to change the data in the new group by altering their prefixes). Is there a quick way to repeat steps in the design stage (I know you can repeat a section in the form when it is running but this is not what I want) so I can quickly duplicate and modify the step I have i.e. data sets and controls

    Hi Mr. Turnip,

    I don't know of an easy way to copy+paste schema elements, which is unfortunate. You might try to use a repeating section instead, even if you have to stretch the nodes a little. Regardless, you're data source should be THAT big - you might also want to consider splitting to a new form.
