How to clone invisible a stack?

[André Bisseret]

Thank you much Mark,
Locking messages before cloning works like a charm ;-))

I keep learning!

David and René: thanks for your replies

David, I am using OSX too.

René, I did not explore the custom property solutions
Pourriez-vous m'esquisser comment utiliser une "custom property" ? (How could I use custom property?)
Seulement si vous avez le temps ! 

Best regards
André
