[support] How can I duplicate fields in one content type?

[Jean Gazis]

I don't know any PHP. I have cut and pasted a snippet or two, but that's
about it. I want to eventually learn more, but this isn't a big-ticket job
so it's not what I'd choose to put all my time into right now.

Is there a module or modules that would let me do this?
