If you need to provide data for repeated elements, you can copy an element as many times as you need. To do this, either:
- Place your cursor on the row for the element you wish to copy
- and press <F2>

Notes
- If you copy a parent element (with subelements) the copy will include all appropriate subelements).
- If you copy a subelement, only that subelement will be repeated.
- In a template: if you would like a template to always prompt for a repeated element/vocabulary, you can copy that element/vocabulary in a template—the copied element/vocabulary will always appear as repeated whenever that template is accessed.
- In a record: if you need to repeat an element/vocabulary for a particular record, you can copy the element/vocabulary as many times as you need for that record—the copied element/vocabulary will only appear as repeated for that particular record.
