Duplicate record has stopped working

Hi, I created this code to duplicate a current record, remove information from specific fields and then open that new record. I have been using it successfully for the last 3 years but it has suddenly stopped working and only duplicates the current record exactly as it is. Can anyone help please?

 

let currRec := Id;

let xDup := duplicate(this);

xDup.('Length (ft)' := null);

xDup.(Width := null);

xDup.(Room := null);

closeRecord();

openRecord(record(Estimates,xDup.Id))

       yes that seems to be the same issue. As I mentioned that line of code has worked perfectly for me for 3 years, but has suddenly stopped

       ok thank you. Hopefully they will fix it soon. I’ve tried altering the code but couldn’t get any different result

      The big problem is Ninox will never tell us what they fixed, so you will have to keep trying it in each version and pray and pray.

      For better or worse since this year I've been doing my work with the app for Mac. 
      So I keep two versions in the apps folder. The version 3.10.11 which I have named Ninox (Orignal) and which I am working with.
      I also have the current version which gets all the upgrades and I test it now and then.

      do you know if this problem also occurs on the cloud version rather than the app?

       I don't know since I don't have the cloud version ☹️

      In my post, I tested it an it only happens with DBs that are in local/iCloud storage. The public cloud version is NOT affected in browser or app.

       ok thank you for this. I’ve been considering moving to the public cloud version instead of the Mac app which I currently am using. Do you find generally that it experiences less glitches out of curiosity?

      I originally bought the app. I made the move to the cloud when the app started to take a long time to be upgraded and fall behind in features. While the cost is quite a bit more, vs free, at least now I can use it on any device (windows and macOS).

      Plus, Ninox now gets a few more ducets, so hopefully it will make sure they stick around a bit longer and keep the product getting better.

      You also have to remember to download your data regularly so you have it case Ninox were to disappear.

      The negative is if a release breaks something bad then you have no way of going back. I am also disappointed that they have branched off a version of their product to the Private cloud with no announced timeline to bring the feature to Public cloud. I would love the do as database feature.

      Overall I've been happy with the move.

      Is a Joke ? 😥 😂

       You should always plan for a provider disappearing. I’m not saying Ninox will but you never know. 

      Always have a copy of your data under your control.

       the freedom to use it across multiple devices would be a key feature for me, but I was weighing up if it was worth the extra cost involved. But if it is indeed updated more frequently then that may sway my decision to go for it. 
      Thank you for your feedback on it :)
