Copydown Not Working for New Builds but Still Working on Old Builds

[Jennifer Turner [WLMS]]

I use Copy Down a lot.  I set up a series of formulast to copy down a few days ago and it worked fine then and still works when I open it. BUT I created a new form and tried to set up a copy down, but when I open the extension and hit the toggle to turn it on it just spins for several minutes. i've tried linking that form to another spreadsheet, same problem.  I've tried different devices. Same problem.  Anyone know how I can fix this?

I just created a small form and spreadsheet and CopyDown worked for me.

I usually use an arrayformula but when I need copy and paste the result, CopyDown is my tool.

Select a new destination from the form.

Insert necessary columns and copy and paste the formulas from your current spreadsheet.

Copy row 2 and insert a row 3.  Paste into row3.

Delete all but one formula and go to step 1 below. 

1. Test CopyDown.  
2. copy another formula from row 3 and paste in row 2.
3. repeat step 1 and 2.

You may find a formula that breaks CopyDown.
