same form design as the first one.

Duplicating Records
You can duplicate any record in a database as long as it has information
entered in at least one field. This is useful if you want to create records
that will contain much of the same information.
A form with fields filled only by automatic calculations (such as a date
field) is still considered empty by OmniForm. You must fill at least one
field manually before you can create a new record.
You cannot duplicate a record if data protection is turned on. See
“Protecting Your Database” on page 197 for more information.
