Copy a Variable Set

You can copy an existing variable set to use as a starting point for a new set. This is sometimes quicker than creating a new variable set from scratch.

Note

For performance reasons, we recommend that your variable sets have less than 2,000 entries. For example 100 variables x 20 variants = 2,000. In most cases it's better to divide your variables into a number of smaller sets in different categories.
