When listing albums is there any way to copy all the track details from another entry if its just the same album but a different catalogue number or country?

Sorry if this has been asked already but with so many posts it's hard to know where to look. I couldn't find it in adding a new entry :sad:

I don't think there is, as such. The best you can do is have the existing entry open in one browser tab/window and make the new entry in a second tab/window. You can then copy & paste between the two.

Cheers Nigel. I was of course hoping for a total one-for-one method but maybe I was expecting too much. :sad:

I must admit it's a chore that I find off putting regarding making entries, plus I'm always thinking that when I make an error (which I'm prone to do) I will lose all that I have entered, because I forgot to hurry up.

Discogs, which I also use, has a facility where you can find a listing, and then "Copy To Draft", which copies the existing complete entry, and then you can edit that new draft to suit the variant catalogue number/issue/country/deadwax/etc. details that you possess, without having to type everything in again. Once you have made all your entries and checked, you post the draft to the 'live' web site, where everyone can view.

A huge plus is it will save draft every time you request "see finished entry", so losing nothing.
Of course, they must have a huge server/servers to do this, but it does work.

That would be so useful. I agree that at present contributors are going to be reluctant to add equivalent releases

There's not going to be a copy/paste option. The reasoning was that people would perhaps just copy/paste a record eg 20 times, for each country, without actually entering the details from the actual record.
