Copy Record and New Forms

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?

    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. 

    Thanks!

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

      a=GenCopyRecord&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.
