Hi Nirmala,

you will have to use some custom code to copy; or else what you can do is use onSubmit catalog client script and set the mrvs value as below

One more option is to have a macro variable and have button name as Copy; on click of it get the value; and copy

function onSubmit(){

var value = g_form.getValue('mrvs_variable');

var parser = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(value));

var obj = parser[0];

arr.push(obj);

g_form.setValue("mrvs_variable",JSON.stringify(arr));

}

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi Ankur,

Thank you for reply. I need a checkbox to be added to variable set so that I can copy that specific record only. I have tried your code that is working fine but its creating duplicate of all the rows which are in variable set. I need for selected rows only.

Is it possible to add checkbox and get id of that selected row in variable set.

Kindly help if you have solution. Thanks in advance.
