How do you duplicate a smart multi-row field using edit controls for confiforms?

[Benjamin Rios]

I have created a form which has a date field, a smart multi row field, and a notes field.

I then display the data of this field using a table view which includes the fields listed above as well as an edit controls for confiforms which enables in-line editing and duplication of the schedule.

The issue I am facing is that when I select the "copy" button, it duplicates the schedule to the following day, but it appears that when I change any data within the duplicated smart-multi row, it also changes the stored data of the previous days schedule.

Is there anyway to duplicate a smart multi-row as you "unlink" the stored data?

Hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ has the copy/unlink feature for smart multi rows been implemented?

Yes, since version 3.2.1

Works perfectly! 

Now...I have an additional question regarding Smart Multi-Rows.

I am attempting to pass a smart-multi row between one form to another using an IFTTT macro. 

To lay it out in more detail I have 1 form called [questions] which holds the fields to be used in the smart multi row which are: 

1. Question

2. Correct Answer

3. Test Taker Answer

4. Score

Then I have another form called [createTest] which has three fields:

1. testName

2. testQuestions (smart multi-row using fields from [questions] form

3. assignTest

Also has an IFTTT which tracks the [assignTest] field and when the field changes it passes all of the fields above to the [testTaker] form as a new record. 

Lastly I have a form called [testTaker] which has the following fields:

1. receivedTestName

2. receivedTestQuestions

3. testID (hidden)

The problem is that when I make an edit to the [receivedTestQuestions] values (within the smart multi-row) all values related to this field get changed as well. 

Is there any way to unlink this so each time I pass the multi row I am not passing a reference?

Sounds highly complicated to me... but consider using this to copy data - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-CopyConfiFormsData

Smart fields in ConfiForms are links between forms and records.

PS, Honestly, not sure why the smart multi-row should be used here... but it's probably not my business

Thank you for the response @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ !

I think...I may have overcomplicated stuff...my bad habit haha. 

But as always thank you for your help 👍

Hi @Benjamin Rios 

There is no way you can do it now, but we understand that copying a record with a smart multi-row should behave different to what copying of any other "smart field" or actually any other field type does

We will make a change so the "copy" function will work the way you need it from the beginning
