Thanks Pete. I did something very similar to that (although I didn't use
the message box to make a copy--how would I do that by the way?) I ended up
copying the group from the first data grid's row template over to the second
data grid... After playing around with it, I then did modified the
dgProps["Row Template]" of the new data grid and that did the trick...
Cheers,

Here's one way to do this,there may be others.
Both datagrids will have the dgProps["row template"] property set to the
same group and card of the Datagrid Templates stack. Locate that card and
use the message box to make a copy of it in the Datagrid Templates stack.
Make a note of the Row Template group ID and card id of the new card, then
change the dgProps["Row Template"] property of the second datagrid to refer
to the new group/card. At that point, you can modify the second datagrid's
template as you wish without affecting the first datagrid.
Hope that helps,
Pete

Hi All,
Okay, I am at a loss. I have a stack with several cards... On one card I
have a custom data grid form with graphics and several text fields... What
I want to do is copy the data grid and then paste it onto another
card--which works fine. The problem is, I am unclear about how to create a
new template for the pasted data grid... When I make minor changes to the
template, the changes are also applied to the original data grid on the
previous card...
How can I create a new template for the pasted data grid so that I can
make changes to it without affecting the original data grid? I want to
find
a way to do this without having to recreate the second data grid from
scratch, because there are only minor changes and it would be quite
time-consuming to say the least...
I found the following link, but it does not really explain what I am
looking for:
