Changing the defaults of a datagrid

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

Hi Zryip,

although i am not the original poster, i have some questions about that procedure.

I tried it here with LC 6.6.x and i am not able to clone the settings according your instructions.

Clicking on the 3 dots button shows me very shortly 2 buttons (Add in Chamber...  and Remove).
That is so quick that i am not able to press any of that buttons.

If i select the 2nd datagrid the button "Clone" is still greyed out.

Btw.: where do i find information about this cloning feature or maybe other hidden features of DGH. 
This cloning thing is something i could have used in the past, if i just had known about it.

Regards,

Matthias
