RE: Create duplicate text field based on lookup field
Hi Ttaylors,
You can try to use workflow to bulk copy lookup field name to thet ext.
1.Go Settings > Process to create a new workflow.
2.check 'As on-demand process'

3.add ‘check condition’ step to check lookup field is null or not.

4.add ‘update record’ step.

5.clcik 'Set Properties' to fill text with lookup field name.

then save and active the workflow.
6.Test.
Select records that you want to update and expand flow to run the workflow you just created.

After:
