there's a maxmium of 20 tables per workbook, but I can only duplicate a workbook if it's 10 tables or less?

The 20 table limit you're seeing is actually for connected tables using "Send table data" actions, not the total tables per workbook. [1]
For shared workbook templates, there's a separate limit of 5 tables per shared workbook. [2] The 10 table limit you mentioned might be related to "Write to Other Table" connections, which has a maximum of 10 connected tables across workbooks. [3]
Could you clarify what specific duplication issue you're running into? That'll help me give you a more targeted answer.

Hi John, yes!! Unless your table setting “Auto-update” is turned off, adding a new record to the source table will automatically trigger the Send Table Data action.
