Duplicating Actions
-------------------

QGIS allows you to duplicate existing actions. To duplicate an attribute action,
open the vector :guilabel:`Layer Properties` dialog and click on the :guilabel:`Actions` tab.
In the :guilabel:`Actions` tab, click the |duplicateAction| :sup:`Duplicate an action`
to open the :guilabel:`Duplicate Action` dialog. You must have selected at least one existing action
in order to create a duplicate.

In the dialogue that appears, make any changes that are necessary. See :ref:`adding_actions`
for further information. Once finished, press :guilabel:`OK` to create a duplicate of the action with
any changes that you made. If you did not edit the description, or if you changed it to be
identical to the description of any other existing action, "_1" will be added to the end of it.
