Yes, this is one of the options I was thinking, that could use the keywords as is.
You’ll just need to apply a source filter that will give you an empty grid to start the copy process.

If you want all in one page, then you might need 5 grids: 2 hidden ones for custom records copying, 2 hidden ones for common (template) records copying and 1 visible grid for the results.

Let me know how it goes.

That kind of makes sense. Even with very little coffee.
:upside_down_face:
I’ll report back.

I think I have it configured correctly.

The Copy button renders successfully.
When I click it, nothing happens. The console log doesn’t show any activity.

Does it need an empty record in the Destination Grid to write to? Or does it create a new record for each record it finds in the Target Grid?

I can take this to the GitHub page if that’s easier

Furethr testing.
I created two new Tables/Objects
_test and _test 2
_test 2 is a copy of _test so the all the fields are teh same/same type

I created 1 record in _test and clicked the “copy” Button.
Here is the result.

Removing the Date/Time Field (See error above) resolved the issue.

Interesting that it seems to have written the Record ID of the record copied from.
That field is the default “Name” field for the Object _test.

Ok, enough for today.
For anyone following this thread, sorry for the rapid fire posts.

@Erik,

Let’s move this troubleshooting session to a new Issue on GitHub if you don’t mind. I think you’ve found a few new bugs worth investigating.

If possible, I’d need your app’s link and login, please.
Send them to my email.

Is there any way to install functionality for KTL on an individual basis? For instance, I only want to use perhaps one or two features. Is there a way to only load the javascript library for that particular feature?

88

KTL comes with a configurator that allows you to easily pick and choose which functions are active or inactive. You can get information about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_vVcIhdRlo&ab_channel=CHProjectSupport but be aware that KTL is not part of Knack, so these types of questions are better posted to the KTL Github.

Just a big thank you to @NormandDefayette_CortexRD since the Knack UX is way smoother with the KTL.

Thank’s man!
