Duplicate Data Plugin

Introduction

The Duplicate Data Plugin is a form element plugin that allows users to automatically clone an existing record in Joget. It retrieves data based on a record ID passed through a URL parameter and populates the form with the same data, including nested grids and file attachments.

This plugin is useful for scenarios where users need to quickly duplicate existing records without manually re-entering data.

Where to get the plugin

How to use it

1. Open your form in Form Builder, drag and drop the Duplicate Data element into your form.
   
2. Edit the element properties by setting the URL Parameter (e.g. duplicateId). This parameter will hold the original record ID.
   
3. Open your Datalist Builder and add a Hyperlink element to the table.
   
4. Configure the Hyperlink element as follows:
   • Hyperlink: ?_mode=add
   • Hyperlink Parameters:
     • Parameter Name: duplicateId
     • Column Name: id
        
5. Save and launch the app.

Expected Outcome

After implementation:

• When users click the duplicate action, the form loads with pre-filled data from the selected record.
• Nested grid data and file uploads are duplicated correctly.
• Upon saving, a new record is created (original record remains unchanged).
