TagDecks: Duplicate
TagDecks: Duplicate Cards by Tag copies notes into multiple decks based on their tag hierarchy β without touching the originals.
Perfect when a card belongs to several topics and you want it to appear in each matching deck. The original stays in its current deck; duplicates are placed in every deck that matches a tag.
ββ What it does ββ
β’ Searches all notes for a given tag (and all subtags below it)
β’ Creates one deck per unique tag path (subtags become subdecks)
β’ Creates a full copy of each note in every matching deck
β’ Shows a summary of duplicates created and decks set up
ββ How to use ββ
Open Tools β Tags β Decks (Duplicate)β¦ (or use the Browser menu entry)
Enter the tag exactly as shown in the left sidebar, e.g.: Pharmacology::Antibiotics
Confirm β copies are created immediately
ββ Example ββ
A note tagged both Pharmacology::Antibiotics and Pharmacology::Antibiotics::Penicillins gets duplicated into both matching decks. The original is untouched.
ββ Move vs. Duplicate ββ
β’ TagDecks: Move β relocates cards (one deck per card)
β’ TagDecks: Duplicate (this add-on) β copies cards (same card in multiple decks)
ββ Notes ββ
β’ Originals are never deleted or moved
β’ All fields, tags, and note type are preserved in duplicates
β’ Supports nested tag hierarchies of any depth
β’ Useful for cross-topic decks (e.g. same drug in Pharmacology and Clinical Medicine)
