SharePoint Office365 - How to Copy a List?

I'm setting up some SharePoint Lists in Office365. I've got one list set up just the way I want it and I want to create a new list which is almost exactly the same. I remember (way back when) I last worked with SharePoint about 6 years ago, you could copy a list to another list type but I can't seem to find this option.

I have looked around the Internet but so far, all the answers I have found have suggested using an 'Export List as Template' button in List Settings but I don't have this button.

My settings look like this enter image description here

Is there a feature that I need to switch on to get this? This feels like it should be very easy...

If you don't see "Save this list as a template", check that Custom Scripts is not disabled in your SharePoint Admin settings.

Alternatively, I have been able to use other lists as templated by going to Site Contents in the Modern UI, select New > List and you should be presented with options to "Create a list" or "From an existing list"

see Create list window

From the Site Content Select New and then select List. This will open a another screen where you need to select From an existing list as shown below:

If you need to get list as Template, follow this steps.

  • Go to the Site Contents
  • Right Click on the List that you need to get template.
  • Click on the Settings
  • Then there is that option like image below.
