Copy Record Action in Rich Text Button

Hi All, 

Is it possible to shortcut to the QB copy record option in rich text button vs. add record and picking all the fields that would need to be copied?

Thank You!
Chris

    Here is a URL version

    URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=GenCopyRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]

    You sure to review all the fields on your form to uncheck infield properties any fields that you do not want copied forward.   

    Copy the value when using "Copy this QB / Prog. Request" to add a new QB / Prog. Request

      Thank You, Mark! 

      To confirm, this will copy any fields that would normally copy based on the basic 'copy unit' QB option, correct?

      Also, trying to throw it in an edit record sequence, would adding it to something like this work - either before or after the edit record?


      var text URLONE = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid()
      & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
      & "&_fid_2044=" & URLEncode(UserToName(User()))
      & "&_fid_2046=true"
      & "&_fid_627=false"
      & "&apptoken=******";


      var text URL =
      "javascript:" &
      "$.get('" &
      $URLONE &
      "',function(){" &
      "location.reload(true);" &
      "});"
      & "void(0);";

      If([Primary Unit]=false,

      "<a class='Vibrant Danger'>Archived</a>",

      "<a class='Vibrant Primary' style='border:1px solid #6BBD57; background-color:#47368B'" & "a href=" & $URL & ">Archive Record</a>")

        Sorry this looks like a whole new question so I don't really understand if this is a new question or a follow on to your old question. If it's a new question please post a complete new question.
