Clone an entity record via JavaScript (CRM 2011)
We have had the need to clone a record with client-side Scripting, responding to a click on a button in the entity's Ribbon.
Conceptually the operation is easy and is based on the retrieving of all the record information using the Organization web service, then build an object identical to the first and use the web service to create a new record with this object.
Few things are important to take in mind:
1. In the building of the object the record ID must be "skipped" because, obviously, we can't create a record with an existing Guid
2. Date fields are returned in a format like: "Date("date_string") that it is not accepted in record creation from the Organization web service: depending of the need of every field, we decided to "skip it" or "reformat it". In the sample code we show both of these cases.
3. StateCode and StatusCode should be skipped (or managed) because, natively, Organization web service doesn't allow the creation of a record in a closed state.
