To copy-paste values from a record to other ones ?

 Hi

 Is there a way to copy-paste values from a record to other ones ?

 EG

I have a record with some fields that I’d like to copy to twenty empty fields of twenty other records.

If I type one by one the fields it will be very long.

In Filemaker Pro there is a way to copy-paste fields very useseful.

Is there a way to do that kind of thing with Ninox ?

Thanks

    I'm currently working on a client's FileMaker Pro system where the previous developer had scripted copy & paste instructions to transfer values from one field to another. This is a REALLY BAD thing to do. Much better to use Set Variable and then Set Field to assign values. It's no different in Ninox.

    Your copy becomes Go to the table and record p and use Let a := p.OldField;

    Yours paste becomes Go to the table and record r and use r.Newfield := a
