ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 112
Duplicate Record/Request
Purpose
Duplicates the current record or the current find request.
Format
Duplicate Record/Request
Options
None.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
In Browse mode, this script step makes a duplicate of the current record. In Find mode, it duplicates
the current find request.
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.
Example 1
Performs a find, goes to the last record, and duplicates the record.
