Charity Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 So I switched to primary key of Get(UUID) but now I can not duplicate record. It says it must be unique. Well sure. I do not want to remove the unique validation. I want to skip the validation just one time and then I can set the id field with a different id in my Duplicate Contact script but I do not know how. I find many search results for 'duplicate record in filemaker' but nothing I can use. Is what I want possible or do I need to completely remove validation unique? What do professionals do in this case?
doughemi Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Just set the field options to auto-enter Get(UUID) and uncheck the "Do not replace existing values of field" box (along with unique validation). When you duplicate the record, the auto-enter will enter a new UUID.
