Copy relate with Duplicate button

[JWG]

Is is possible to copy the relate fields when the Duplicate button is pressed (in our instance the Contact relationship with a particular Case would created with the new duplicate Case when you press Duplicate)?

Thanks.

Hi JWG

It is possible but you need to perform several customizations:

1. custom/modules/Cases/metadata/detailviewdefs.php:
1.1. add a hidden button into form (is_duplicate);
1.2. override the Duplicate button to set the value for this new field;

2. custom/modules/Cases/controller.php
2.1. override the function action_save, which will check if the field is_duplicate is set to duplicate and duplicate the relationships

Cheers

André, I am afraid that overriding the function action_save is getting way beyond my ability! But many thanks for for your help.

EDIT
I found a way round, I used the studio to set up a new one-to-many relationship between contact and case and used that instead of the standard many-to-many one.
