How to make a duplicate record

[John Prouty]

I want to give the user a button that will duplicate (copy) the current record so they don't have to re-enter all the data and can only focus on the differences.  I was looking at the Flow Designer and an Update Trigger, but all I could see was where I would have to explicitly identify each and every field in the record to do the copy.  Is there a way to code a loop that would copy all the fields from one record in the table to another record in the table?  Then I would make the one change to link them together.

Hi John,

For which application (incident, change, etc.) you are looking for this functionality of copy.

It is a custom application.  I have a UI Action that sets the State = "Duplicate".  Now I am trying to code an Update Trigger (using Flow Designer) to check the State.  If it is "Duplicate", I want the action to Create a new Record and then copy all the data from the current record into the new record.  And then I will update the record with the parent of the current record.

Hi

Please have a look on OOB UI Action "Insert and stay UI " and modify your code acordingly.

Thanks

I need to do this as part of Update Trigger (there is other logic that needs to be coordinated with the copy).
