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.
