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!

      Hi,

      I'm trying to get this working using a button but I need to change a few fields in the new copied record and I'm trying to pass those in the API params. 

      This doesn't seem to be working as the API isn't picking up the updates to the fields. 

      "<a class=\"Vibrant Snowy SaveBeforeNavigating\" data-refresh=true data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration: none; width: 170px; text-align: center; background:#0167ff" &  "; border-radius: 8px; padding: 10px 5px;  color: #FFFFFF; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none; href="& Dbid() &"?a=GenCopyRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]&
    "&apptoken={{apptoken}}" &
    "&_fid_1230= "&[Record ID#] &">Clone Request</a>"

      Where fid:1230 is the record ID of the previous record from which the new record was copied. This field is important for my business case as I use this field for further Pipeline runs.
