I work with a lot of multiple libraries as offshoots of the main library or as temporary housekeeping libraries. Some I create and only use for a few days. Is there an easy way to replicate the structure of the main library when I create the new libraries so that they always contain the exact custom columns of the main library? I have 5-6 custom columns so recreating them each time from scratch with a new library is not fun. I notice that if the custom columns are not in the new library, any data in those columns are lost when transferring a book from the main to the new library.

Would copying a certain db file from the main library over to the new library achieve this?
