Clone a record

[btroop202]

I was wondering if anyone has done this before, I have a use case where a user wants to be able to onen a record and then can click on a button to clone it (sine 90% of the input will be the same). Is there a way to force StratusForm to do a insert instead of an update?

Looking at how it calls the SPServices, if you can find a way during the StratusFormsSubmit to update the formID (it's likely going to look something like the following):

• edit the StratusFormsSubmit in stratus-forms1.5.js to include amongst it, an option for formID
• set formID to 0 when calling it. It will stop the function from then replacing it with the global ID value that was originally set during init.
• This then goes into the SPServices, it'll leave the ID=0, and then should result in a new entry with the existing fields.

Your completefunc should remember to redirect it to the new cloned copy's view, hopefully...

see if that helps?
