Generally -- I think copy to new/clear/etc.... -- should all be deleted.

Their generic functionality typically does not match well with what an application is trying to do.

Clear -- should be some sort of in-application button -- and it clears what is relevant to be cleared (typically not everything).

Same with copy to new....

Good Morning List,

A have a question which is not specific to any platform or version.

Just curious how others handle the "Copy to New" functionality that's been in the client User Tool for many years.

Do you prefer to create an active link which fires an error message to prevent people from using the copy to new functionality or do you let people use it???

In previous projects I worked on we always ran the error message preventing people from using it and then we created our own button, menu item, etc which performs an open window action and pushes only the fields we selected over instead.

Is this how you are dealing with this -OR- do you have any better ideas???

Thanks,

Robert Dalton
