How to do this basic thing?

[dunbarx]

I am more at ease in HC, but wouldn't just making a new card, since 
you already have the field set up as a background, do the trick? Maybe 
cutting and pasting creates default conditions in Rev that are 
screwing stuff up. I think making a new card keeps your bg stuff, and 
all other objects are owned only by the card itself.

Hi,
Since the system I had built before is failing so spectacularly, I can 
only
assume I must be doing something wrong, So how would you (anyone?) 
suggest I
build this?

I need to have an intro screen. On that screen, i want a big list 
(initially
empty) on the side, and a button that say, "new".

When you click the 'new' button, it changes to a new screen, with a 
bunch of
things pre-populated on it, based on a template card. The list stays 
on the
screen though, on the left side, and now shows that there is one entry,
which links to this page. Then the user can fiddle around with things 
on
that page. Clicking the 'new' button next to the list creates a new 
screen,
again based on my template.

I was using a template card before, with the list in a group set to 
act as a
background, and using copy & paste for the template card to make the 
new
pages.

But this is no longer works, as the group that contains the master 
list gets
created new every time the copy & paste happens for the card 
containing it.
So on every page, it has only one entry. It used to list all of the 
cards,
but I guess I screwed it up somehow.

How should I build this?

Thank you,
-Art
