Is there any way to copy the variables in a variable editor of a record to another new record?

[Arsh1]

So I am trying to create a copy of a record by clicking on a UI Action. Now the problem is I don't know that how I can copy the Variable editor data from that request to the copied request.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Though im able to see the data when im using info message on the variable.toString().

Hi,

this worked well for me

please enhance it further

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.get('4dcd5214070b20102011ff208c1ed020'); // older record with variables

// create new record

var rec = new GlideRecord('incident');
rec.initialize();
rec.insert();

// then iterate for question_answer and insert the variable

var question = new GlideRecord('question_answer');
question.addQuery('table_sys_id', gr.sys_id);
question.query();
while(question.next()){

var att = new GlideRecord('question_answer');
att.initialize();
att.table_sys_id = rec.sys_id;
att.table_name = question.table_name;
att.question = question.question;
att.order = question.order;
att.value = question.value;
att.insert();
}

gs.info(rec.number);
