What Changes When You Clone an Existing Table as the Basis for Creating a New One in a Few Clicks
In Jestor, cloning an existing table duplicates its field structure — and, optionally, its records — to create a new table, without waiting for the step-by-step build that AI-based or from-scratch creation requires.
Why is cloning different from creating with AI?
When cloning, there's no need for the AI to build anything: the structure already exists and is simply duplicated, making the process nearly instant, without the wait time of AI generation.
What changes between cloning and building from scratch?
| Aspect | Clone existing table | Build from scratch |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Nearly instant | Slower, field by field |
| Records | Can be copied or not, your choice | Table starts empty |
| Field structure | Identical to the original table | Defined from scratch by the creator |
Why choose Jestor to reuse ready-made structures?
Jestor lets an already validated table serve as a template for new, similar tables, saving the time of recreating fields that already work well in another context.
Does cloning a table also copy the records?
That's optional — you choose whether to copy existing records or start the new table empty.
Is cloning faster than creating with AI?
Yes, because there's no generation step: the structure already exists and is simply duplicated.
Can a cloned table be edited after creation?
Yes, it works like any other table, and can have fields added, removed, or changed.
