Duplicate record button in interface designer


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

The interface designer has an update button and delete record button. I wanted to create a button to duplicate record so some of the data need not be reentered. Any way to do it through the automation. I could not seem to get the automation to recognise the current field

Yes, you can do this with automations. Use the “Create record” action and use the values from the triggering record.

Can you show a screen shot of where you are having trouble?

Another vote here for this missing “Duplicate Record” options within an Interface Button.

Appreciate the workaround @kuovonne - hopefully a “Duplicate Records” interface button method is something that can be implemented soon by Airtable.

Hello Kuovonne 

Thank you very much for your insights. I am trying to create this "Duplicate Button" on the interface and I am not getting how can I use the values from the triggering record.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks
