Duplicate one page of facing pages as new single page

Question

I set my project up for facing pages. Then, I set all the titles, page numbers, titles, etc., and named the page as A - Master. See attached photo.

The problem I am having is that if I create a new single page parent, the right side of the facing pages is used and that is OK for a B-Master. page But, I cannot get the left page of the facing pages to duplicate for a new A-Master page (i.e. A-Master one colum with image.

How can I make a new A-Master with only the left page of the facing pages Master.?

HI @wallwall2:

You have hit upon a limitation of InDesign master pages—when you have a double-sided document and you add a new single-page master, it will be a right master page. I go ahead and add facing-page masters, format the left master (blue in the example below) and then just ignore the right master page, if I don't need to use it.

I have been learning InDesign and kept on trying. I found the answer in my trial and error.

After creating a new page based on [None] and made sure page numbers was changed to one.

After selecting the new Master page, I right clicked on the page in the Page panel, clicked on Page Attributes, then selected Rotate Spread View - 180 degrees. Now the page layout is set for left hand faceing pages.
