I have a fairly complex table where users would like to create new records based in large part on existing records. Rather than creating a new record with a blank form, they want to "clone" an existing record and then edit that one. CCS already provides me with the Add, Edit and Delete but I'd love to figure out how to add Clone!
Does anyone know how can I accomplish this in CCS?
I found this tutorial but it looks like it is for an older version of CodeCharge,

anyone know if it works with current version?

One way is by simply allowing the user to look at a listing (grid) of existing records with different commands (edit | copy | Record Data). When the users selects the copy/clone button/link then you would execute a custom code that would copy the existing record, create a new record (with the existing record data) and allow the user to edit the cloned record. Hopefully this will give you a starting point.

Another way would be to go into the "Edit" mode of the record.
Add another button which is available when in edit mode - which you can call
"Clone".
It's action would be "Insert", and in its OnClick Server event you would
clear the primary key value so that the server will alocate it (or if you
compute them, just copute them there).

thanks R - this was the solution - I just added another button with the name Clone - otherwise I would have lost the user
