</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>end</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>tell

</x-tad-smaller>but i get an error "CannotCreateScriptCommandError". however, createing a new card with few props like {first name: "bob", last name: "builder"} works.

so what is the easiest way to duplicate a person in the addressbook?

thanks a lot,

olli
