Duplicate Record x times

    We have an internal Participant DB used for orders of custom products. Sometimes a customer will order 100 of the same product, but each product needs it own record based on our production methods.

    Is there a way to fill in a new record, then have a field that we could enter in how many of the “product” records we would want duplicated. Each product would need to have a unique record ID, but all other information would be the same.

    Has anyone done something similar or have an idea on how to go about this?

    Thanks!

    The plugin does not have a built-in way to duplicate records, but from your description, even that capability would leave you with a lot of slow work editing records.

    It would be much faster for you to have a workflow that exports the record to a CSV that you open in a spreadsheet. You can then duplicate the record as many times as you like…just don’t include the record ID. You can very quickly edit lots of records in the spreadsheet, then when you’re done editing import the records.

    Important you skip the Record ID (and Private ID if you’re including it) so that the plugin can assign new IDs.

    Awesome – the CSV option will be the way to go!!

    Thanks!
