I "duplicated" a View.

However, when I saved the View Template in the new view (changing the output from a gallery format to a table format) it somehow OVERWROTE the existing View Template in the original view.
So I had to go back and recreate my original view template.
THEN when I saved it, it overwrote my new View Template!
It seems like they are not acting independently.

See the attachments.
The View Template described here should NOT produce a table output, yet it does (for now at least - maybe caching is saving the day?)

THIS is the gallery format page:

THIS is the table format page:

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - can you check the "Loop Editor" section of the cloned view and check if you have added correct content template there.

OK. I think you are correct.

If you look at the two attachments...
The Loop is referring to a View Template that is actually contained in a DIFFERENT View, not this one.

So how should I proceed?
I want to replace the View Template currently labelled "Ad format - grid" with the correct, table based code.
This View Template name is included in a different view (the one I duplicated from originally).
It doesnt seem possible to just rename the View Template and insert the correct code.
Do I need to "remove" and add a new View Template? How?

Well - you can use the button "Content Template" from Loop Editor to add your desired content template and remove the existing content template shortcodes:
