A custom action in a report that partly duplicates a previously entered record and opens it in a new form that the previous record was created in, additionally populating a reference id field of the old records autonumber.
I have created custom actions in other reports, its really the script to duplicate a previously entered (Into Form A) record (certain fields) and open Form A with some of a previous records data pre populated. Also a way to copy a autonumber field and populate a reference field in the new record.
Simplified Example:
| FORM A |
Record Report |
FORM A |
| Name: John |
Custom Action button |
Name: John |
| Customer: John's Repair |
to launch script |
Customer: John's Repair |
| Email: john@johnsrepairs.com |
