Replicate with New Image
Jan 3rd, 2011, 3:24am
 
I sometimes find that I want to Create a Card but use the exact same Text info and categories of a older card (approved or otherwise). Title, keywords, verse, categories, ...
 
My idea it to have a link in List view for each card called "Replicate Card Text" that when clicked would go to the same Create a Card upload page to upload or grab an image but then the Card Details screen that follows would have all the same info of the card we "Replicated."
 
A good example is doing new holiday cards, such as St. Patrick's day Humor, allowing us to add cards to like categories, reuse the title, keywords and punch-lines for the most part, but utilizing a new image.
 
This would not only save time, it would be starting from a position of error-free text.  We certainly can then mod the title, keywords, verse, and so forth as needed, much like we do now when the default text was from the prior created card.

That would be so cool. They have that on eBay and it makes it so much quicker to list similar items.

I've often thought of that when creating cards. I usually end up opening a new tab in my browser with the card I want to "copy the information" and in the other tab is the card I'm creating. So....copy/paste from old to new card. That is sometimes faster than retyping....  But having the option Tom is suggesting would be great!

Sounds like an interesting suggestion.  Hope it isn't too difficult to implement.

A button for replicate would be awesome! Great thinking Tom. I find creating cards can become quite tedious and do them in stages where I'm prepared to sit for a while.
