Good morning all!
We have created a cdf (string) on table cisli220 and we assign a value on it and we want this value to be copied when the user is using system functionality duplicate from session cisli2520m000.
Please advice,
Maria

CDF values are copied by default to the new record. There may be a few exceptions for more complex objects, but on cisli220 it seems to work.

Hello JaapJD!
It is not copying the values of the cdf in our case.
I created a table extension and added in the before save hook the code below and it worked.


if update.db = dupl.occur then
cisli220.cdf_orid=cisli220.cdf_orid
endif

Imho it cannot be this code that solves your problem. Your assignment of cisli200.cdf_orid does nothing...

It works JaapJD.
I have assigned a value on the cdf though extension and when duplicating it keeps the value.

JaapJD can you please explain to me why you said it will not work?
Cause although it (seems) to work for cdf, it is not working for table fields!
Your expertise is needed once more time!
Thank you for your help!

This code

cisli220.cdf_orid=cisli220.cdf_orid

does nothing at all, so it cannot be the solution for a CDF keeping the original value during duplicate.
Probably other code in your table extension populates the CDF initially and also during duplicate. If you post your extension script here, I can check.

JaapJD,
this is my table extension (before save) in cisli220,
function extern long before.save.object(long mode)
{ if update.db = dupl.occur then
cisli220.cdf_orid=cisli220.cdf_orid |original ms id
endif
return (0)
}

And I have a session extension with a calculated field where I assign the value in the cdf,
function extern void cisli220.cdf_orid.before.input()
{
|* Use this hook to perform actions before input to
|* an input field starts.
cisli220.msid=cisli220.cdf_orid
}
