How to copy meals to another day
Meals from a logged day can be copied to another day.
Copy a day
- Open Meals.
- Tap Copy Meals.
- Pick the day to copy from.
- Tap the meals to copy. Tap Select All to select all of them.
- Tap Continue.
- Pick the day to copy to.
- Confirm.
The source can be the day you are viewing, or any of the previous seven days that have meals.
The source day is never changed. MesoMetric creates new copies on the target day.
The confirmation depends on the target day
Copying into the same day adds copies alongside the originals:
Duplicate selected meals into this day?
New copies will be added to this day. The originals are kept.
Copying into an empty day:
Copy selected meals into this day?
Copying into a day that already has meals offers a choice:
Target day already has meals
Append selected meals, replace target day meals, or cancel?
Append and Replace
Append adds the copied meals to the meals already there. Nothing is lost.
Replace deletes every meal already on that day and writes the copies in their place. This cannot be undone from inside the app.
Check the day in the heading before tapping Replace.
Copies carry no alert
A copied meal has no meal alert, even when the original had one.
Set the alert again on the new day.
After copying
Copying to a different day moves you to that day.
If something goes wrong
One of these may appear: Could not read days, Could not read target day, or Could not copy meals.
In each case nothing is copied and the source day is unchanged. No partial copy is left behind. Close the message and try again.
