Hi guys!

I need to clone record (Main Form) then get the result (new id) and open new record Main Form.

If use PowerFx - it's impossible to open the new record form.

If use JS - can open the form, but how to call instant flow?

Of course I think it is possible to use httprequest and address like "https://prod-98.....logic.azure.com:443/workflows/..0939.."

but it is not a good solution, it must be changed for every client (deployment).

You will need to create a JavaScript for the button. I have created a video that explains.

@Max77

The only option you have here is the way you have described it using http flow another alternative would be to clone the record using JavaScript and webapi directly without the need for the flow.

For a HTTP Flow put the URL in a configuration table, and read the URL from there - you then only have to update the config and not your code for different environments.

Also, if all you are doing is copying values on the main record (not also cloning child records) then you could call an Action from your JS instead. If also cloning child records, then could also do an Action but one with custom .NET code registered against it.

@Fubar , @365-Assist thank you very much. I use the way you offered.
I have some doubt about security.
So I use query to configuration table and get the direct url to http service. In this case a skilled user can debug the WebPage and get the url.
Is it the corect way if I insert record in another service table with WebAPI then automated flow get the service record, copy my original record, say OK in the service record. Then when it is done (check on timer) I show my new Record in Main Form?
