Here is what I ended up doing. This comes from this post:

> Maybe I’m missing something here, but any time I edit a dataset tag or property it’s very inefficient because there is no way to copy and paste a single row in the Dataset Viewer. So my only option is to add a new row (which is completely blank) and then copy the contents of each individual cell from an existing row and then paste one by one into each cell in the new row. Gets really time consuming if you have more than a couple rows to add. I’ve tried copying the entire dataset and pasting i…

- I opened the the Multi-Tier Project Template which gave me my treeview.
- I copied my existing windows into the new project.
- I opened up the dataset editor for the treeview component
- I copied that into to Notepad
- I edited the fields for my windows and pasted it back to the dataset editor.

Cumbersome but easier than manually editing every field.

I have to ask this question: The post referenced above is from 5 years ago. Back then it was moved to a feature request. Has it not been addressed or are there better ways of doing it? Seems to me it would be handy just to be able to copy and paste rows in the dataset editor. You can't even copy or paste a single cell.

Anyway, thanks again for all the help.
