Ability to clone a batch

Yes, you could do that. Go into your recipe, and click ‘edit’ and ‘copy’ and then save if you’d like after editing it. You’ll have to rename it, for example I have Dinosaurs! and Dinosaurs2, to differentiate them.
You can start that way- but changing the batch ingredients does mean changing the recipe so you’d have to copy, change the recipe, save and hit ‘batch’ unless you wanted to hand write the changes in a printed form. If you change the recipe, it’s a new recipe if that makes sense.
I understand. But aside from resizing, the ‘batch’ feature is really for creating the batch and not tweaking any recipes so any changes are not part of the same batch, if that makes sense.
So what if Batch 1 really worked nicely (including batch-specific additives like FO, micas colour used, etc), and I want to recreate that batch but safe as Batch 2, so I have to write down all my notes about that batch on a piece of paper, start a new batch and then put all those things back in? 
Not at all. If you keep the recipe the same, you can just simply make a new batch. Here is an example of a screenshot of several batches. I have the same recipe. You can just give them new batch numbers if you’d like, or don’t even have to do that.So what if Batch 1 really worked nicely (including batch-specific additives like FO, micas colour used, etc), and I want to recreate that batch but safe as Batch 2, so I have to write down all my notes about that batch on a piece of paper, start a new batch and then put all those things back in?
OK I am not relaying this clearly 
"If you keep the recipe the same, you can just simply make a new batch." Yes, this this is standard functionality. Now, I want to make a repeat BATCH (clone a batch with all its FOs and additives etc)- not create a new batch of the RECIPE cos then I have to keep referring to what I did in the previous batch with all the additives, FO etc. I want to copy a batch that was previously made. Is this clearer?

The batches are listed in ‘my batch’ but you don’t want to do that? So you can just keep using the same ‘batch’ if you want. The new batch is what removes items from inventory, etc, so you would have to start a new batch if you want to want to use those features. Otherwise, you can do the same batch over and over of course.
As I showed in my screenshots, I make the same exact batch a couple of times, but since I was creating it and removing from inventory and for record keeping with dates, I can give it a new code, like 001 and then 002. If you want to change dates, use inventory deductions, age for future dates, etc, a new batch must be created.

I am working outside of an inventory atm so yes, I can see the complexity of my request to clone multiples of a batch but with different codes, names, FOs and ready dates - without pulling new batches from the master recipe. I will just have to keep multiple batch notes in the one batch of dates FOs used, colours etc. I may find a better way to work this but for now, this is ok. Thanks.
It was fixed now. Can you try it again?
