Issue/Introduction

Description:

When we create a sub-object with the 'Copy Enable' option set, and then go to the Main Application and try to create a new sub-object instance, the [Copy From] link is not displayed.

Solution:

The [Copy From] feature is not available on the List View nor on the Sub-Object's "Create" layout page. The [Copy From] link only appears on the Sub-Object's "Edit" layout page.

Use the steps below to copy a Sub-Object instance record from another existing sub-object instance:

1. Create 1 instance of your sub-object ; complete all the desired data in this instance  
2. Create a 2nd instance of your sub-object ; 'Save' the object instance   
3. Go to the Edit Layout of the 2nd instance of the sub-object    
4. You will see the [Copy From] link in the upper right corner of the page   
5. Click [Copy From] link and select the 1st instance of the sub-object   
6. The data in the fields will now show that values that come from the 1st instance
