About This Feature

Overview

Create Data Table Copy is a built-in feature in WPS Office for iOS multidimensional tables. It helps you duplicate an existing data table quickly so you can reuse the same structure, records, and view settings for editing, testing, or backup purposes.

Core capabilities include:

Create a full duplicate: copy field structure, records, and view settings.
Start a new table faster: create a copy directly from the data table tab menu.
Edit independently afterward: the copied table and the original table can be maintained separately.

Capability Summary	You can create a copy of an existing data table directly inside a multidimensional table. The copy keeps the field structure, data records, and view settings.	Microsoft Lists can create a new list from an existing list and copy views, formatting, and columns, but the original list content is not copied.	Google Sheets can copy a sheet. The official API documentation says the copy keeps values, formatting, formulas, and other properties.	Notion databases can be duplicated with content or without content, depending on whether you want only the structure or both structure and records.	Adobe Acrobat officially supports copying PDF pages, which is useful for page-level duplication, but it is not a structured data table copy workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: create the copy directly from the data table tab in the same multidimensional table. Distinct: one copy keeps structure, records, and view settings together.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page focuses on copying list structure rather than copying the original content together with it.	Compared with WPS: sheet copy is supported, but the cited official explanation is presented through API operations.	Compared with WPS: database duplication is flexible, but it is centered on workspace databases rather than the same in-table tab workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF page organization and does not provide a matching structured data table copy entry.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to duplicate an existing data table on mobile with its structure and records kept together, WPS provides a direct in-table workflow. Other products offer related copy features, but the copied scope, entry point, and content model are different.
