How can I add duplicate contacts on my iPhone

I know that the majority of related Qs on here are about deleting duplicated contacts; and yes that can be a pain, but I want to go the other way.
After I have spent ages filling in all the contact ino for someone [workwise etc], I often need to have another person from that same organisation. OK, so the name and SOME info is different, but at least 50% is relkative.
Can I duplicate the original entry and then amend the copy to get the new contact without just entering the WHOLE thing again ?

Thank you randers4 for answer above. I highly recommend using the info. in the two apple links below:
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support  and
If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support

  • How can I erase duplicate contacts on my iphone?

    I have 100's so I can't do it one by one.

    You can go to your phone contacts and go under the number you trying to erase and when you pull up there name by touch it hit the edit at the top of the phone on the right hand side,After you hit that go down to Delete contact it's going to be at the bottom of your phone.And that's it that's all you have to do.
    Okay when you get home and you hook up your phone to your computer well you know your itunes going to open up and say that your phone have contacts on it thats not on your computer are something like that make sure you hit no to not sync cause it's going put it back on there after you do that the first time and you go back and sync your phone it's not going to ask you that.
    Are you can go to the started menu at the bottom of your computer and type that person name in and hit deleted and when you sync your phone you don't have to worry about the duplicate of the contacts getting back on your phone after you sync your phone again,There so many different way people can do stuff it's what ever comfortable for you.

  • How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

    How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

    DH
    I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect.  If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values. 
    So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once. 
    Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP.  His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

  • HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts.  If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

    There are old posts that reference this but if you Google "How to make ringtones for iPhone" you'll find some detailed instructions on how to create and convert songs into ringtones. Your other option would be to buy ringtones from the iTunes store but it's really easy to make them yourself out of songs you already have

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
