Sometimes it becomes crucial to restrict certain fields from being copied as values of certain fields can change when a duplicate record is made. To eliminate the risk of repetition or data modification, customize pre-fill for duplicate records in Sugar7 by the override function on the “Record View” called setupDuplicateFields. Through this functionality, you can alter fields that will be used to pre-fill the duplicated records.
See the example below where highlighted fields in the “blacklist” variable can be unset or reverted to their default value, if provided in the field’s metadata.
({
//The below jsdoc was copied from base RecordView controller in Sugar7
extendsFrom: ‘RecordView’,
/**
* Called when current record is being duplicated to allow customization of
* fields that will be copied into a new record.
*
* Override to setup the fields on this bean prior to being displayed in
* Create dialog.
*
* @param {Object} prefill Bean that will be used for new record.
* @template
*/
setupDuplicateFields: function(prefill){
var duplicateBlackList = [“id“, “status“, “custom_field_c“];
_.each(duplicateBlackList, function(field){
if(field && prefill.has(field)){
//set blacklist field to the default value if exists
if (!_.isUndefined(prefill.fields[field]) && !_.isUndefined(prefill.fields[field].default)) {
prefill.set(field, prefill.fields[field].default);
} else {
prefill.unset(field);
}
}
});
}
})
