Not sure of your requirements but is there a need to use a script here? Could you just use the native automation methods - Find Records in table1, then in a repeating group, use the create record action and use the data from prior Find Records step.

I tried this, but the results of the find records step is limited to 100 resulting records. My found set has about 200 - 220, so I think I need to use a script.
.... unless there is another way around the limit?
createRecordsAsync function can create 50 records at a time.
It would be a change to pass the records to be created once to an array and process 50 records at a time.
How do I pass the records to an array?
I used ChatGPT 3.5 to get it fixed.
// Script Purpose:
// 1. Select fields "Client" and "Client Family" from all records in the table "Client Master"
// 2. Using these values, create new records in the table "Bank Recs"
// Define source table
let table = base.getTable("Client Master");
// Define fields to retrieve
const fldClient = table.getField("Client");
const fldClientFamily = table.getField("Client Family");
// Query for all records in the Client Master Table
// Select specific Fields from that table, sort by Client Family then by Client
const queryResult = await table.selectRecordsAsync({
fields: [fldClient, fldClientFamily],
sorts: [
// Sort by "Client Family" in ascending order
{ field: fldClientFamily },
// Then by "Client" in ascending order.
{ field: fldClient },
],
});
// Create an array to store records to be created
const recordsToCreate = [];
// Loop through all records and add them to the array
for (let record of queryResult.records) {
recordsToCreate.push({
fields: {
"Client": record.getCellValueAsString("Client"),
"Client Family": record.getCellValueAsString("Client Family"),
},
});
}
// Define target table for creating new records
let targetTable = base.getTable("Bank Recs");
// Define batch size for creating records
const batchSize = 50;
// Function to create records in batches
async function createRecordsInBatches(records) {
for (let i = 0; i < records.length; i += batchSize) {
const batchRecords = records.slice(i, i + batchSize);
await targetTable.createRecordsAsync(batchRecords);
}
}
// Call the function to create records in batches
await createRecordsInBatches(recordsToCreate);Does it work?

YES!!
Thank you. (and it runs really quickly).
Really appreciate the help
