ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 61
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Description
If the record has a field set up for automatic entry of values, this script step 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.
Examples
Perform Find [Restore]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Last]
Duplicate Record/Request
Delete Record/Request
Purpose
In Browse mode, deletes the current record. In Find mode, deletes the current find request.
Format
Delete Record/Request [No dialog]
Options
Perform without dialog prevents the deletion confirmation dialog box from displaying when the
script step executes.
Compatibility
