Did you know that you can copy a form variable from the Expression Builder, and paste it into another form? Did you know that you can copy a report/label variable from the Expression Builder, and paste it into another report/label? Buttons for "Copy" and "Paste" have been added to the Expression Builders for the Form, Report, and Label modules, to allow users to copy and paste selected, or all, variables. Please note the "Copy" and "Paste" buttons are located next to the "Up" and "Down" arrow buttons, which reorder the location of a variable in the Expression Builder. In addition, you may also use [Ctrl+C] to copy selected expression(s) and [Ctrl+V] to paste expression(s) while placing the cursor over the expression builder window.
