Create an option for decks or sub-decks to turn off the “Duplicate Card” warning

Anki Suggestions

The duplicate card warning is essential for most cards and I know Anki has considered this issue closed, but I still want to make a plea here.

One of the things that I wish to do is create “Listening Card” templates. It is essential to understand what a native foreign language speaker is saying. Especially if they are speaking quickly!

Here is my example:

On the front of the card, will be a simple instruction: “Type in what this speaker is saying,” or something along those lines. It will have a button to play the word. Then you would type it in on the front, and the back of the card will reveal the word, so you can see if it matches.

It’s really very simple, but as it is, the front’s instruction will be the same over and over and over again. An option to turn it off of Basic Cards will fix this, unless you cannot add audio on a basic card. I’m still new here but this is my plan.

You can add audio on every card. Same is true for images and other media (though not all clients might support it. E.g. ankiweb might have troubles).
You can even add as many as you like.

Yeah, I also got a video link from Keks that demonstrated how to put the same text on all cards. That would eliminate this request entirely. I was unaware that it was a “style”. Sigh. I’m trying to understand as best I can. Like I said, I’m code-illiterate. :rofl:
