Hi

If I want to add a new individual with mostly the same address and other details as an existing contact can it be done simply by duping that existing contact?

Regards

William

Well, a contact can share the same address by simply checking 'Use another contact's address' in the Address section when adding a contact.

there is no 'clone this contact' via the UI - but as explained by Clark - sharing an address saves a bunch of data entry
