HTML import button of tasks uses predecessors numbers not in the database

Did you use the wizard to make the button, or are you using the API approach?

If you are making a button which will also Copy the Parent project record, then you need to specify a text data entry field such as Project Name so that the new Project record = can be created with a name lkke Copy OfProject xyz.

But I thought you were trying to make a button which would import Tasks from a given template Project.  In that case, the CopyFID is not required.

I used the wizard, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.  First, I saved records to a project.  Then, I used the wizard to create a copy button to create that specific project.  I've done this with several projects, and all of them return that error.

1. Are you trying to be able to Copy a whole Project along with its Children?

2. Can you post the code for the button that the wizard created for you

3. and also tell me the name  and the field ID# of the field which identifies the project - typically a field called Project Name.

1 Yes I am.  2  "javascript:void(copyMasterDetailButtonHandler('&sourceRID=43&destrid=" & [Record ID#] & "', 'bmyj8t4e4'))"   3  I'm not sure which project I copied as I've been experimenting with many random projects...  I'll try another one now and keep track of it. 

I think I see the problem...  Because of my experiments. every project has a copy entire project button.  I'll clean it up and try again.

OK, post back if you are still stuck and I will have a quick look at your app on a GotoMeeting 

Still no luck.  Here's the button:  "javascript:void(copyMasterDetailButtonHandler('&sourceRID=49&destrid=" & [Record ID#] & "', 'bmyj8t4e4'))"

Field id is 16  for "copy test
