What is Clone List for ?

Clone List is a List Maintainer feature that allows a new list to be added that is an exact clone of an existing list apart from the list name. The attributes, including subscribers and maintainers are cloned. The Description field may be updated at the time of the clone.

I received a clash with the List name, what should I do?

If the system prompts with a clash of name, then either: a) the list may already exist and have been entered by another person, or b) there is a genuine clash. In the case of b), you need to select a name such that does not clash. There are no general restrictions on the list names used.
