i want to copy the related list from a record to another record in the same table(say change)?

[Sharique Azim]

Hi all,

I was trying to bring all the list of one record to the new record in the same table,Similar to duplicating the record or insert ui action.

But was not able to bring the related lists.

Thanks and Regards,

Shariq

Hi Sharique,

Can you please give example on what exactly you are trying to do.

Hi Sharipque,

Do you want to create a UI action similar to "Insert" in order to copy child (related list) records as well as the parent record?

In this case, you need to modify the original script, and add GlideRecord query to copy all child records to new record.

Hi Sharique,

I had a similar requirement and worked on it just yesterday. I needed to have a 'Copy' button that creates an exact copy of the record with the created date and time appended to the name, this should also create copies of the records related list. (same records in related list should show up here too, i.e. copies of them)

If this is exactly the same as you want to do, you could use my UI action script modified to suit your instance.

copyFile();

function copyFile(){
   current.u_name = current.u_name + " Copy_[" + gs.nowDateTime() + "]";
   var originalID = current.sys_id + '';
   var copyID = current.insert() + '';

   if(copyID){
   var gr = new GlideRecord('u_RelatedFile'); //replace table name with the table name of your related list
   gr.addQuery('u_file', originalID); //replace field name with the reference field in your related list that points to the main table
   gr.query();
   while(gr.next()){
   gr.u_file = copyID; //replace field name with the reference field in your related list that points to the main table
   gr.insert();
   }
   }
}
