Thanks so much for your idea ​@mshealy. We’ve reviewed it and appreciate the thought behind it. At this time, we’re not planning to pursue this request, so we’ve marked it as parked.
If you're comfortable with modifying the json file, you can copy/pasta the desired field in the json file but renaming the componentKey.  For example, if you want to replicate a dropdown field "Select_jbRIeTNk", you'll locate the field property in the webformConfig json file:

"Select_jbRIeTNk": {
"componentKey": "Select_jbRIeTNk",
"componentName": "Envelope_Type",
"componentType": "Select",
"enableEnvelopeCustomFieldShowProperty": true,
"label": "Envelope Type",
"options": [
{
"label": "Contract",
"optionKey": "81oBJFoU",
"selected": false,
"value": "Contract"
},
{
"label": " Meeting minutes",
"optionKey": "5MS6eSIb",
"selected": false,
"value": "Meeting_minutes"
},
{
"label": " Others",
"optionKey": "OTzlukRG",
"selected": false,
"value": "Others"
}
],
"required": false,
"useEnvelopeCustomField": true
},

make a copy of it and insert into the "components" object, then rename the key (say something like "Select_123" , note that this key must be unique in the form, so if you want to make multiple copies, this key will need to have unique names for each copy)

"Select_134": {
"componentKey": "Select_134",
"componentName": "Envelope_Type",
"componentType": "Select",
"enableEnvelopeCustomFieldShowProperty": true,
"label": "Envelope Type",
"options": [
{
"label": "Contract",
"optionKey": "81oBJFoU",
"selected": false,
"value": "Contract"
},
{
"label": " Meeting minutes",
"optionKey": "5MS6eSIb",
"selected": false,
"value": "Meeting_minutes"
},
{
"label": " Others",
"optionKey": "OTzlukRG",
"selected": false,
"value": "Others"
}
],
"required": false,
"useEnvelopeCustomField": true
},

@Jenny.Martin Sorry, For my take on this I should have been more specific.  Not in a e-signature web form.  In CLM.  I am not sure if the original post was for e-signature web-forms or CLM but I personally would like to see the ability to copy items and paste them in the forms - document library forms - specifically items in the Forms Library or in Forms.  Does this somehow work with json as well?  As far as I know you can’t make a json of the eforms in the document library.  Should I open a separate item?  The system merged a lot of my items into others because it deemed them as duplicate.  Not sure if this is one of them.

Hello ​@newtoclm,

Thanks for clarifying! If your request is specific to CLM forms, we recommend creating a separate idea with detailed information about the feature/enhancement request. 👉 Create an Idea
