Hi Michal, 

 

We suggest you to push the “column object” of column you wish to duplicate in the “columns” property of Grid. In the below code, in a button click event we have took the instance for the Grid and pushed the column object to be duplicated in the “columns” property and finally we have called the “refresh()” method to reflect the changes in Grid. Please refer the code example below, 

 

 

  <button id="duplicate">Duplicate column</button> 

 

   <ejs-grid id="Grid" :dataSource="data" height='315px'> 

          ... 

   </ejs-grid> 

 

    document.getElementById("duplicate").addEventListener("click", (e) => { 

        var obj = document.getElementById('Grid').ej2_instances[0]   //Get the instance for Grid 

        var duplicate = obj.columns[0];             //Get the column to duplicate(Here we have took the first column) 

        obj.columns.push(duplicate);                //Push the column object of the column to be duplicated 

        obj.refresh();                                            //refresh the Grid to show the changes 

    });
