How to Completely Prevent "More - Copy this record"

Hi - I have a parent table connected to a child table.  In the child table, I need to either

  • Allow "More - Copy this record" and keep it associated with the same parent record
  • OR prevent the "More - Copy this record" function completely

I've read about not selecting Auto-fill - Copy the value when using "Copy this record" to add a new record so that users will basically add a blank record.  But i actually don't want that to happen.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Carrie

    The only way I can think of is to make the field for [Related Parent] be required and then set the field to be read only.  Then the Copy button will leave that blank and the user will be unable to save. 

    If you like you could also make a formula message field to display by form rules that when [Related Parent] is blank to display some words.
