Simple way for duplicate a record

xif1 · ‎07-24-2014

Hello everyone,

Is it a way for duplicate a record easily ?

I means without copying each field ?

Actually I use this method

current.start_date = 'NULL';
current.end_date = 'NULL';
current.calendar_duration = 'NULL';
current.opened_at = current.opened_at;
current.opened_by = current.opened_by;
current.sys_created_on = current.sys_created_on;
current.sys_created_by = current.sys_created_by;
current.insert();

But my record have a lot of field, and It can be very long...

Hi Romain,

if you simply put current.insert(), it will insert a duplicate of the current record in your table. So incase you need to set certain values for this new record like:-

current.description="Duplicate record";

current.short_description="Duplicate";

you can set those values and then use current.insert().

Thanks & Regards,

Hari
