As the subject already indicates: I have created multiple tabs under a certain DocType. Inside these tabs I need to use the same fields again and again. At this point I just have to create all these properties over again under the right tabs. Is there a (simple) way to just copy all content from tab 1 to tab 2?
Thanks for your advice, but I've already tried DocTypeMixins ;-) This is not what I need, since it's just enabling me to copy the properties (or tabs) from one DocType to another. What I would like to know is how I can copy certain FIELDS from one TAB to another, including an option to choose a unique alias, off course.
I see, I don't think there's a package for that - although it could be quite handy.
It could be knocked up as package though - by adding a simple icon/option, then programattically copying the field across to another tab. (the doctypemixins source could be handy for an example of modtifiyng tag values: https://bitbucket.org/mattbrailsford/doctypemixins/src)
A little late, but I just had to copy everything by hand since I'm not this educated that I could 'programmatically copy the field across to another tab' ;-)

DocTypeMixins could be your friend:

Create a Mixin (doctype) with those tabs/properties, then assign it to the new doctypes, voila!
You could create a Mixin foreach tab, that way you can apply the tab and its properties to each doctype as/if needed.

But thanks anyway!
