FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 67
Format
Duplicate Record/Request
Options
None.
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
If the record has a field set up for automatic entry of values, this script step does not duplicate the
value in the field of the current record. In that case, FileMaker Pro generates and enters a new value
for the duplicated record.
To use the Duplicate Record/Request script step with portal rows, first use the Go to Portal Row
script step, and then use the Duplicate Record/Request step. Using the Duplicate Record/Request
step when a portal row is selected will duplicate the selected row in the related table. This option is
only available when the option to allow creation of related records has been enabled for the
relationship.
Examples
Perform Find [Restore]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Last]
