How do I create a "Card" column type in a Microsoft List?

Question

I really can use your help on this.  I have decided as part of my efforts to solve a different problem to make a copy of a Microsoft List to a work platform that is not shared as a dashboard and shared area for my company.  I am creating a duplicate List from another List that is the production list so that I can experiment on a duplicate one on my...  Here, a screenshot is worth one hundred words:

I am using an online presence where my username is part of the URL.  I am doing this as a test to solve a 404 and 403 error I am getting. To duplicate a List, I have copied the production list to a local EXCEL file; made a table in that file, and used that to upload the data to a new List.  The data types have all been converted to single-line text.  Some of the changes to the data types of the column I am allowed to make.  But for others, I believe I will have to rename and create a new column from scratch with the proper column data type.  I believe I will have to do this with the mysterious "Card" data type.  Can anyone help me with this? In the List that I am creating from the original, the "Card" data type appears something like this:

I am sorry that I had to pixelate this pic but the point is that the column for "Card" is nothing more than a single line of text that is the name of a picture file.   On the other hand, the Microsoft List that I am copying FROM has a much more complex class or object for a Card that contains a multitude of data.  It looks something like this:

When I click on one of the cards, I get this interesting data window on the side:

There are many ways to view the data and its various formatting.  I made this quick video about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFl_mfBirTQ Please advise.  How do I create a Card class.  There are a couple of paths to take to create a new column but "Card" does not appear on any of these menus:

Hi @William Thompson ,

We can see the Type of each column in the List setting(As shown in the figure below). You can check what type the "Card" column is in the original List, there is no column of type card in Microsoft List. Reference:List and library column types and options

If you want to create a duplicate list from another list that is a production list, You can use the "save list as template" function directly(Copy the entire List directly with content). Many people don't have this option, and it is recommended to use Powershell directly
