Clone a Dataverse record from a selected model-driven app row

[Kosenurm]

Hi there, 

I have a model-driven app where there is a strong business use case to clone existing Dataverse records. 

Has anyone successfully done this by the user:

1) Selecting the row from model-driven app grid

2) Clicking a button (flow? a modern command-bar formula???)

3) All the column values for the selected row are copied with the Primary Name value being "Copy of <copied record name>".

Please help

Cheers

K.

Find the right app | Microsoft AppSource has click2clone that does it for you.

Otherwise the easiest way to do it would be to write a custom action that takes the record type and guid (sent when you click the ribbon) that loads the original row and creates a new version by iterating across the columns one by one..

@Kosenurm You can also call a flow from button click (via JS). Pass your record Id and record type and handle everything in flow.

Hi @Kosenurm 

As @gowrihalan04 said you can create a button in model driven app and you can call an action from the Button and create a workflow or plugin to proceed the same.
