Copying BP Records and Line Items

If you have the applicable permission, you can copy a business process (BP) record or individual line items within a record. When you copy a record, the data from both the main and detail forms are copied. A copy of the record is created in the same location as the source item. Auto-populated values and image pickers are also copied from the source record or line item. Attachments are copied only if you select the Copy with Attachments option. In Text-type BPs, you can only copy the record; attachments, general comments, and responses are not copied.

To allow you to copy a BP record or its line items, the administrator must ensure that the Disable Record Copy option in Permission Settings for the applicable BP is not selected for your account or a group to which you belong. If you do not have permission to copy a record or line items within a record, the system displays a corresponding message to explain why you cannot complete the copy process.

Note: If an administrator has enabled the Disable Record Copy option and you use Copy with Attachments or Copy without Attachments while your device is in Offline mode, the copy process might work; however, when your device is in Online mode, the system does not sync the copied record.
