Is it possible to clone a stack and the user does not see anything ?

[Eric Chatonet]

Re,

Here is a simpler version of Sarah method that might help you:
In the card/stack script of the template stack, just insert:

on preopenStack
   if "copy" is in the short name of this stack then
     go invisible to this stack
   else
     <template stack regular preopenStack>
   end if
end preopenStack

Hope this helps.
