# Clone Data Tables When Regenerating Paths

In this documentation article, learn how to clone data tables when regenerating paths in Quality Modeller!

[Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/GGQSBAEUivg?&wmode=opaque&rel=0)

To get started with this tutorial, open an existing **model in Quality Modeller** or create a new one, then **generate the paths** through the model.

Once the paths are generated, you can create new data tables and add variables to them. To do this, press the **Cog button** on your generated path.

The **Cog button** opens a drop-down, here select **Data Table**, this will open the **Test Data Table window.**

In the **Test Data Table window**, you can create a new **Data Table** and **add variables** to it by hitting the **blue + button.**

Once you have created your **Data Table**, hit **save**!

Now this new **Data Table** will be connected to the path designated to it. To see this connection, you might need to refresh your paths.

Once you’re happy with your data tables and paths, navigate to the **Test Generation tab** in the top bar menu and open the **Coverage Profile menu** by hitting the **Coverage button.**

Here open the **Advanced drop-down** section. In the **Advanced options,** you will now find the option to **Clone the Data Table on regenerate.**

If you turn the **Clone Data Table** option off, upon path regeneration, the **Data Table** will no longer appear with the path. If you keep the option on, the **Data Table** will stay connected with each regenerate.
