Can a List be Copied similar like Modules?

Dear Community,

I have a basic question, many will feel it might be silly but still need to ask whether we can create a copy of the lists available in the General list sections like modules? If NO then why & if YES then how can we do it?

Hoping to get answered by anyone of you soon!!!

Regards,

Not natively like for modules Muizz.

You would need to set up the list name, set up a module that has line items for Code, Parent and Name, filter the module to only show the list members ie exclude parents and save a view, then import the view into the new list.

As to why? an Anaplan product specialist may be best placed to answer you.

The short answer is no, you can't make a copy of the list as you can with modules. As to why, I am not really sure but would question why you believe you need/want to do this as you are simply duplicating data. Remember, you need to be thinking in a multidimensional way, not in an Excel or RDMS way. Especially with the subset feature, I can't think of a reason why you need multiple Account dimensions or multiple composite lists that are identical.

Dear @rob_marshall sir & @TimWard70 sir,

Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. It was a thought that just ran through my mind exactly as you said while using excel & RDMS and became a doubt. Hoping to get similar helpful suggestions from you all in the near future.

I like the idea of copying a list (like you can a module). This is very useful for testing purposes. I very often create a copy module to test a change before changing it in the actual module. Sometimes that module is dimensioned by a list. Therefore I have to create another phony list to test changes.
