Bulk operations 'duplicate' function creating blank records.

[ivojolo]

I've put the _ebo keyword on a table. When I try the checkbox -> Duplicate option, it creates the new records, but the field values are all blank.

Is there any additional setup required to enable the duplicate function to work properly?

Also, I tried using _ebo=edit, delete in the table, and even without the "copy" parameter added, I still see the Duplicate button.

I couldn't find anything in the documentation that explains the issues I'm having.

Thank you in advanced.

Hi @ivojolol

This caught me out the first time I used it.

You have to also select the fields you want to duplicate.

When you select the record you want to duplicate you'll also see some checkboxes in each header. Check the boxes of the fields you want to duplicate and it should work.

This is not a full duplicate it assumes there are fields you don't want copied so the code allows you to choose the fields you want replicated.

Any other problems

Let us know

Hi @CSWinnall
I see, thanks. Is there any way to turn off the "Duplicate" button but leave the rest of the "Edit" features?

[CSWinnall]

Yes

You can do this

_ebo=edit

Will only allow edit

The others are

_ebo=copy, delete, action

If you add this it will only allow duplicate, action and delete.

You can also restrict each bulk actions to certain user roles using ktlRoles

_ebo=[edit], [ktlRoles, Developer]

This will only allow users with the Developer user role to bulk edit.

Ah okay got it, I didn't realise I had left the Bulk Copy role on myself. Working now, thank you!

I did a video at Christmas about KTLs bulk edit, if it helps. 😉
