Copy Record and New Forms

Question

The Copy Record API does not appear to function with New Forms.
a=GenCopyRecord
Does anyone know if a fix for this is on the New Forms roadmap?------------------------------Michael Rose------------------------------

Hey Michael,
This doesn't appear to be functionality yet with New Forms. There's an idea you can vote up here via Product Feedback.&nbsp;
Thanks!

If you are desperate, you can use a URL to redirect to the old form

a=GenCopyRecord&amp;dfid=2

You could even use the SaveBeforeNavigating and the %%reid%% technique to have a one click button to save and then land the user back on the record in edit mode in the new form.

Thanks Mark. That's basically what I ended up doing. URL button "Copy Record" that drops the user at an old form showing a couple of fields with an instruction to the user to confirm the copy by clicking Save. After Save, QB redirects them to the New Form version of the record.
