button for Duplicate a record and its links to a sub table

Hello Community!

I needs some help to create a button in my table Navire.

Each record of Navire has multiple links to another table Options (1:N)

This allow to create a navire with its own options.

Now I would like to create a button which can duplicate a selected navire with all its own options.

It should sound like for a navire x : duplicate(this) where Option:= navire x

But I'm lost with this kind of script.

So help appreciated!

thanks a lot!

    Are you trying to duplicate a Navire record but reset the options that are linked with it, to then create its own options?

    If you had a button in the Navire table, it would look something like:

    let t := this;
let newRec := duplicate(t);
for loop1 in t.Options do
 let newOp := duplicate(loop1);
 newOp.Navire := newRec
end

    Lines 1 and 2 are probably what you expect.

    Lines 3 - 6 is the for loop that takes each related record in Options of the current Navire record and duplicates it then links it to the newly duplicated record in line 2.
