We’re excited to introduce Duplicate variable functionality.This lets you instantly create a copy of an existing variable, so you can build your models faster and avoid repetitive work when modeling similar logic. 

Why is it important?

Many models include variables that are nearly identical — they share structure, formulas, and input logic, with just a few changes needed. Previously, you had to recreate these variables manually, which was time-consuming and error-prone.

Now, with Duplicate variable action, you can clone an existing variable and make small adjustments, significantly speeding up your workflow and improving consistency across your models.

How does it work?

When you click Duplicate, a cloned version is created immediately below the original and saved automatically. The duplicate includes:

• All version formulas
• All manual inputs for each version

If the original variable has unsaved changes, a confirmation modal will prompt you to save them before duplicating.

This feature is designed to reduce friction, save time, and help you stay focused on what really matters: building your model.

Note: This feature is being rolled out in batches. If you don't see it yet, please contact Abacum Support to have it activated for your organization.
