I have items and I need to add more lines and I am manually copying, pasting and overtyping, can this be done automatically somehow? Example

  • 1. Item 1 -

    Photos

    • insert images

    Findings

    Actions Required

    2. Item 2 -

    Photos

    • insert images

    Findings

    Actions Required

    Good day Cath

    Currently, Microsoft Loop doesn't provide a feature that automatically duplicates a multi line section and renumbers it when you add a new item. 

    While Loop supports numbered lists, the numbering only applies to the list item itself.

    The content within each section, such as Photos, Findings, and Actions Required, still needs to be copied and updated manually. I understand this creates extra work and can slow down your workflow. It’s not just about aesthetics; these differences can genuinely affect how smoothly you work and navigate your day. 

    As a forum user, I hope you understand that I don’t have the ability to modify or escalate product issues directly. However, I strongly recommend submitting your feedback through the Loop · Community. This is the most effective way to ensure your voice reaches the product team and can be considered for future improvements.  

    Once you've submitted your feedback, feel free to share the link here in the comments. I’ll be happy to upvote it to help bring more visibility. 

    Additionally, as other users have raised similar concerns and may not be aware of where to share their feedback. Highlighting this information can make it more visible to others in the community who may be facing the same issue, making it easier for them to find guidance and contribute their feedback as well. 

    Thank you again for your time and for raising this important usability concern.
