If you are new to editing, it is recommended to start with the Basics and to back up your current medical record template prior to editing.

Click the Backup Existing Templates button, save the file to your computer leaving the default name as-is.

Editing F9 Dropdowns.pdfCopy and pasting fields
There are two ways to paste fields after you copy them:
Paste fields – fields will be linked from one tab to the other. They will share the same FID so are essentially the same field.
No additional reprogramming for buttons will be required (as long as the original fields/buttons are in good working order)
Paste fields (create new) – create brand new, independent fields from the ones you are copying. This is the best option if you need new fields, but don't want to re-create the wheel.
Keep in mind that any buttons you paste will need to be reprogrammed as they will be pointed to the original fields.
It’s important to choose the right option otherwise it could break linking, buttons may need to be reprogrammed, new fields won’t import into letters etc.
