Glitch with URL Formula Field Behavior (Copy Parent To Child Record)
Hello There,
I have a field which is URL formula based type, and functions by making a recursive copy of a parent record, including it's associated overview, data fields, and tasks (separate table linked), to a child record. The field is called: {Add Similar Project}.
However, when the field function is executed, it had previously allowed the user to rename the new "Child" project as whatever name they wanted to designate - via a new pop up window. Then it would complete the copy/over function and replicate the parent project to the new child, but under the newly named record as specified by the user.
But - now it's no longer functioning that way with the new name allowed to be entered in the pop up window. Instead, it provides a pull down list of all current and previously existing "Template" project records on a Template Report we have created, and asks the user to pick from one of those template names as the new record name for the copy-over from parent to child record.
This ultimately causes two duplicate "template" type project records to exist, the parent and the new one created under the same name - being "forced" on the drop down selection of recursive copy function window.
/tools/copyParentChildren.html a=dbpage&dbid=bk9txi273&namefid=16&pagename=copyParentChildren.html&rid=697
The above is the specific link that is related to my recursive copy window popping up, when the formula field {Add Similar Project} is activated.
What needs to be changed or tweaked on the URL Formula structure for this field, in order to eliminate the forced drop down selector and allow for a free-format text "naming" of the new {child} record which is being created with the copy-into..?
I've taken this to QB Support as well - but since it's not part of strict native structure, there was nothing which could be advised by them.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
