I often create long databases (with lots of fields) that I need to clone (i.e., I need variations with only a title or field change) and it is super onerous/time-consuming to have to completely reenter 20-plus fields to effectively recreate the database. I've mentioned this suggestion a few times now over the last two years and really hope it will be acted on soon.

This would be helpful for us, too. @Julia M Usher
My question is, is it possible to "clone" simply the table schema without the data? I am aware that we can manually script the database and run that script. However, our table schema changes frequently (we constantly add new columns and tables), and we don't want to update this script. Thank you very much.

There may be a misunderstanding here...in Crowdstack databases there is no scripting. The interface for creating and managing databases is simply a series of checkboxes and menus, meant to be used by non-coders. I'm not sure what you're referring to as 'scripting'.
I am just talking about cloning the database setup/structure (not the data in it), so it is ready to receive new data. I use the same structure over and over for different online events that I run.
