Troubleshooting Duplication

Common Issues

Missing Size Data

Problem: Duplicated quiz has no sizes Solution: Original quiz may have had no size table; add sizes manually

Incorrect Measurements

Problem: Size measurements don’t match expected values Solution: Original quiz may have had data entry errors; review and correct

Wrong Gender/Category

Problem: Duplicated quiz has wrong gender or category setting Solution: These settings copy exactly from original; update in quiz editor

Performance Considerations

Database Operations

  • Atomic Process - Duplication happens in single database transaction
  • Failure Safety - If duplication fails, no partial quiz is created
  • Success Confirmation - Toast message confirms successful completion

Large Size Tables

  • Complete Copy - All size entries copied regardless of table size
  • Preserved Order - Size ranking and order maintained in duplicate
  • Measurement Precision - All decimal values preserved exactly

The duplication feature streamlines quiz creation by preserving your careful configuration work while giving you the flexibility to create variations for different products, seasons, or markets.
