How do I unlink automatic changes in two views?

[Steve]

I created a second view off the same basic table. I made a bunch of column
changes and then realized all the changes were made back onto the first view.
I don't want that. I tried creating the view from scratch but it still
changes the columns on the other two views now.

Hi Steve,

The changes are applying to both views because you are using the same
table in both views. Copy the table and rename it. Make the editing
changes to one of the tables and then edit the second view to use the
other table (View > More Views, Edit).

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Thanks. This helped. I think of "Tables" as being the system tables.
Instead, they would be a view in a database.

Hi Steve,

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. Yes, I agree the use of the
word "table" can be very confusing to many. I think of "tables" in
Project as being similar to queries in a relational database.
