Duplicate Record/Request script step

Format


Duplicate Record/Request

Options

None.

Web compatibility

This script step is web-compatible.

Description

In Browse mode, makes a duplicate of the current record. In Find mode, duplicates the current find request.

If the record has a field set up for automatic entry of values, Duplicate Record does not duplicate the value in the field of the current record. In that case, FileMaker Pro generates and enters a new value for the duplicated record.

To use the Duplicate Record/Request script step with portal rows, first use the Go to Portal Row script step, and then use the Duplicate Record/Request step. Using the Duplicate Record/Request step when a portal row is selected will duplicate the selected row in the related table. This option is only available when the option to allow creation of related records has been enabled for the relationship.

Example


Perform Find [Restore]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Last]
Duplicate Record/Request
