Hi All,

I'm new here. I just came back from Devcon and had an incredible time.

I have a question that I think this is the best place for it.

But, its not the ideal one.

I'm trying to set up a method to duplicate a record by selecting manually which fields will be duplicated. This should be similar to the Import/Export control panel. I want to give the users the ability to select which records to duplicate and which not to. Ideally, each user will use a checkbox or arrow to select which fields will be duplicated.

The FM duplicate option does not work for us, since it duplicates everything. There are certain fields that we do not want to duplicate.

Hello Jaime,

Welcome to the forums!

There are several ways to go about custom dupliaction of records. However one that I've used on occasions is to establish a script which writes the selected fields to a global text field (as a delimited array).

Assuming that your users start by selecting which field values are to be duplicated, from a set of checkboxes atttached to a global field, your script can kick off along the lines of:

Set Field ["gArray", "Case(PatternCount("

Ray,

Thanks for the help.
