Copying records and inheriting views

[bonsai]

I am copying records using the following script.

However, the new record form that appears after copying is the default view.

Is it possible to copy a record while maintaining the view?

I would like it to have the same functionality as copying an incident record.

<Requirements>

- Display a new record form with the specified fields copied
- Display the new record form with the view before copying

var new_rec = new GlideRecord("incident");
new_rec.initialize();
new_rec.setValue("u_field1", current.getValue("u_field1"));
new_rec.setValue("u_field2", current.getValue("u_field2"));
action.openGlideRecord(new_rec);

view is just to display the form fields and copying/inserting is a database backend logic

Both are different things.

but you can try to do something but I haven't tested this

// Server-side UI Action script

// Get the current view
var view = gs.action.getGlideURI().get('sysparm_view') || 'default';

// Build the redirect URL with field values and view
var url = '/incident.do?sys_id=-1' +
    '&u_field1=' + encodeURIComponent(current.u_field1) +
    '&u_field2=' + encodeURIComponent(current.u_field2) +
    '&sysparm_view=' + encodeURIComponent(view);

// Redirect to the new record form with the same view and pre-filled fields
action.setRedirectURL(url);

    '&short_description=' + encodeURIComponent(current.short_description) +
    '&caller_id=' + encodeURIComponent(current.caller_id) +
    '&sysparm_view=' + encodeURIComponent(view);

action.setRedirectURL(url);

Thank you for your reply.
But unfortunately this didn't work.
