  • 1.  How to create a simple copy record button?

    Posted 05-21-2013 15:32
    I would just like to create a simple button to add to my form to allow the user to copy the current record (but not the detail records)

    I know this functionality exists from the drop-down menu, but I'm surprised that the advanced settings do not allow you to just choose the option to copy the current record without copying any of the detail records. I am trying to make it simple for users to copy records without having to choose a menu option. This functionality was a built-in button on the old QuickBase, but now it has been hidden under the "More" menu.

    Thanks!

    You can make a Formula URL field:

    URLRoot()"&"db/{Table ID without brackets here}?a=GenCopyRecord&rid="&[Record ID#]

    I got it to work, but there was one extra " in there after the ()
    URLRoot()&"db/{Table ID without brackets here}?a=GenCopyRecord&rid="&[Record ID#]

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi AJ, were you able to figure this out? I am getting the same error message you got. Thanks!

    EDIT: Nevermind. I pasted the wrong text. This worked for me.
