Hi all,
I am stumped on this, but I imagine it's something fairly straightforward.
I want to run an automation that will copy data from one field (Copy-to-field) to another (Copy-from-field) but preserve the original data in the Copy-to-field.
Note - the Copy-to-field is a look-up field.
The trouble is, when the Copy-to-field contains data, it is wiped by the new data from the Copy-from-field.
I have tried adding the Copy-to-field as a data source in the Copy-to-field in the automation, along with the new data I want added but this throws up two problems:
1. It combines the original data with the new data, rather than keeping them as separate entities as I need, which is important because this is a look up field (i.e. it creates a new combined record in the look-up table e.g. instead of 'Joe' and 'Bob' as two distinct entities, the entry just become a single entity 'Joe Bob' )
2. If the Copy-to-field already contains the data that is being copied over from the Copy-from-field, then the data just repeats (I do not want it to repeat) and also runs into the same problem as 1.) above. E.g 'Joe' is in the Copy-from-field and the Copy-to-field already contains 'Joe', I end up with 'Joe Joe', whereas I obviously just want 'Joe'
I hope that makes sense. I am writing this with two different examples in mind, so I hope I haven't confused matters. I would be ever so grateful if someone could help me solve this.
Does this involve using a script?
Thanks!!
