# Enable Case Copy with Linking

Learn how to configure your Vault so users can copy existing _Cases_, including all records, custom fields, and links to original _Case_ documents.

## About the Feature

With the 24R3 release, Vault Safety supports creating up to 100 copies of an existing _Case_. This is useful in scenarios such as creating multiple safety reports from a single literature report, which can then be individualized, as well as other customer-specific needs. Copied _Cases_ include all parent and child records, custom fields from the source _Case_, and links to all documents from the original _Case_. When users copy _Cases_, Vault also creates copies of domestic _Localized Cases_, _Parent Information_, and _Localized Parent Information_. Clear audit logs identify _Cases_ created through copying. On copied _Cases_, the _Number of Cases_ field indicates the number of copies a user created.

After you have configured this feature, see <a href="/en/gr/774284/">Copy a Case</a> for more information.

## Configure the Case Object

To configure the _Case_ object, add the _Copy Case_ action and add the _Number of Cases_ field to the layout. To complete these procedures, navigate to **Admin > Configuration > Objects > Case**.

### Configure the Copy Case Action on Cases

Depending on your business process, the _Copy Case_ action can be configured on the _Case_ and _Imported Case_ object types. To configure the _Copy Case_ action on the _Case_ object, navigate to the **Actions** tab and <a href="/en/gr/43127/#assigning-actions-to-an-object">add the **Copy Case** action</a>. We recommend leaving the option to make the action _Available in All Lifecycle States_ unselected and then configuring the <a href="/en/gr/59885/#how-to-define-a-user-action">user action</a> on the applicable _Case Lifecycle_ object lifecycle states.

### Update the Case Layout

Complete the following steps to add the _Number of Cases_ field to the _Case_ object layout:

1. Navigate to **Layouts > Case Page Layout**.
2. In the _Details_ section, add the **Number of Cases** field.
3. Select **Save**.

## Create the Find Copied Cases Web Action

Create the _Find Copied Cases_ <a href="/en/gr/21270/#how-to-create-web-actions">web action</a> with the following settings:

* **Label**: Find Copied Cases
* **Type**: Select Object
* **Target**: Open in New Window
