Hi,

Is it possible to create a new row as a duplicate of an existing one?I couldn't figure out how to do it...

Many thanks

Anna

Anna,

please r-click on the column header in the table and choose Convert type.... then choose original type -> it will just duplicate field(Copy all values into a new column). Is that what you want to achieve?

Cheers,
Filip

Hi Filip,

not really, I would like to create a new row, not a column, based on a row that already exists. This would be very useful in the case that one has to enter a record which is very similar to an existing one, it would save a lot of typing.

Thanks,

Anna

Hi Anna,

Ah, something like clone row function. I'm sorry that I switch these two expressions while typing.

This is currently not possible. But it could be implemented relatively simply, but I don't know if it can be in 5.12 time frame... I need to discuss it first.

Regards,
Filip

Dear Anna,

we will have in IJC 14.11.10.0 improved functionality:

Load/Clear button added to "Add Row" dialog

The button is active only if one row is selected before

Clear button appears instead of Load button (after the former was used) and clicking will restore previously entered data

Select existing row functionality was renamed to "Join with existing row" and is enabled only for Many-to-Many relationship and for Many-to-one (with condition, only if no row in the detail table is present)

Wishing all the best

David
