@benkeen I need a little clarification on this.

Does this mean you want to generate the data set with the same values again when you select a checkbox that says "Duplicate?"

OR

Would you want to maintain a record of the datasets that are generated and retrieve them as and when required?

[mrbbp]

second choice chief!

in fact a way to have multiple version of a project at different state.
and a way to iterate... same begin different ends...

[unullmass]

I'm not too clear... Do you want to implement version control into the
data sets? Like keep track of changes such as add/remove a column,
change the specifications, etc.?

This way, you could fork a dataset and maintain different versions?

Hm, something like GitHub + GenerateData = GitGenerateDataHub?

I'm not enough familiar with github and co.
I'm graphic designer and work since some years with Photoshop...
i save state of progress v1, v2, v3, to be able to backward on my work, therefore i suppose i want the same simple ability to have different state of work and be able to save and name state as i want...
i think it's very simple ability cause my working process is very basic... no real versioning...
Is it more "understandable" for you?

Yup, I understand!

@unullmass I just mean there will be a simple way to save an existing data set with a different name so there will be two data sets you can edit independently.

And sorry it's taken me so long to get to this. There's just been a lot of work piled up so I've had to put this aside for a while. I'm going away for a couple of weeks but will be getting to this in mid-December.

Thanks for the suggestion + comments, everyone!
