Sometimes when you are performing a definition query, you are pulling values from the same column and most of the times using the same operator as well. Currently, when a new clause is added you have to manually select the operator and column again. So, imo it would save some time and clicks if Pro replicates the last clause whenever a new clause is added as this way you will only have to change the value and maybe the condition.

Thank you for putting the idea under consideration 😊

I like the idea of it duplicating the last clause but would find it highly irritating if it did it automatically! I would say the opposite to you I don't always add a near identical line to the next clause statement.

I think the interface needs to be tweaked and some sort of button on the far right (next to the red cross) that duplicates the last clause would be my preferred solution.
