Hi All,

I have located several posts detailing how to Clone Records using PowerFX within Modern-Driven Apps (example link below) However, for some reason Im not able to Clone Opportunities, Accounts and Contacts work fine and I cant figure out why. I have checked and its not due to any Business Required fields at Opportunity level. Does anyone know if there is a reason why Opportunities will not Clone? Please see code below for Account and Opportunity

Opportunity Code:

ForAll(
Self.Selected.AllItems,
Patch(
Opportunities,
Defaults(Opportunities),
{
Topic: Self.Selected.Item.Topic & " (Copy)"

}

)

);

Notify(“The records selected have been cloned.”)

Account Code

ForAll(
Self.Selected.AllItems,
Patch(
Accounts,
Defaults(Accounts),
{‘Account Name’: Self.Selected.Item.‘Account Name’ & " (Copy)"}

)

);

Notify(“The records selected have been cloned.”)

try with Here is the PowerFX code for Opportunities:

ForAll(
Self.Selected.AllItems,
Patch(
Opportunities,
Defaults(Opportunities),
{
Topic: ThisItem.Topic & " (Copy)",
'Parent Account': ThisItem.'Parent Account',
'Owner': ThisItem.Owner
}
)
);

Notify("The records selected have been cloned.");

Hi,

Many thanks for the response but unfortunately this does not work as it does not recognise the Parent Account column. I tried Potential Customer but I then get a polymorphic error and the same for the Owner field.

I have just tried this and whilst it does not error it does not clone the record either

ForAll(

Self.Selected.AllItems,

Patch(

Opportunities,

Defaults(Opportunities),

{

Topic:ThisRecord.Topic & " (Copy)",

'Potential Customer':ThisRecord.'Potential Customer',

'Owner':ThisRecord.'Owner'

}

)

);

Notify("The records selected have been cloned.");

ForAll(

Self.Selected.AllItems,

Patch(

Opportunities,

Defaults(Opportunities),

{

Topic:ThisRecord.Topic & " (Copy)",

'Potential Customer':ThisRecord.'Potential Customer',

'Owner':ThisRecord.'Owner'

}

)

);

Notify("The records selected have been cloned.");
