What does it mean "calling a code page"?

Although you posted the JavaScript code, that is simply calling a code page ------------------------------ BuildPro ------------------------------

If you got to settings, then pages, I think you will have a Page called

tools/copyParentChildren.html

The button calls that page. The page is where the logic is performed.

In some instances if you got help creating this button and this functionality by a developer or another admin the code page doesn't have to be stored in that same app. It could be calling it from another application if you don't see it anywhere in your list of pages in your app settings depending on what the code looks like. In the button it would usually indicate where the code page was being called from if it wasn't simply pulling from the same app. It might be something you need to touch base with other admins to see if they have more context on where it came from and if an outside developer was involved.
