I am currently creating a project and I'm new to JS, html and CSS.

Is it possible to get the original data or <div> after I cloned it?

Here is my sample code:

let currentId = 1;
function addQuestionaire() {
    let tmpl = document.getElementById('tmp1_id1');
    let clone = tmpl.cloneNode(true);
    let div = clone.querySelector('#selectionArea');
    currentId += 1;
    div.id = `tmp1_id${currentId}`;
    tmpl.parentNode.insertBefore(clone, tmpl.nextSibling)

    return div.id;
}

Is there a way to get the original div? after I changed it. in my case im getting the clone and I can't go back to its original value. another example is I have textarea inside my div and I'm putting a value then I can get the value after I clone but how can I set or get the original value of my textarea if there is sa default value or place holder.     – Lep Nov 02 '18 at 14:05
