Record Creation automation
So I have an expenses table in my app and I have recurring expenses each month that do not change...how can I automate the creation of these expense records every month?

- You will have to create what is called a 'cron job' on a server to help manage this 100% automatically.
Or
You can create a code page that will copy all expenses of a certain type anytime the button is pressed. You can put a button on the home page and click it once a month.
Or
You can create a button to copy that individual record with a click for each expense that needs to be repeated.
Each of these is different level of effort, but the more work early makes it easier down the line. - Thanks for the reply...are there any threads on here that go into detail on how to accomplish these options?
- The copy option you mention would actually be very helpful in solving a different problem...thanks!
