Basically... right now I have a magnifying glass, the pencil, and a trash
can for my records. I want to add a plus next to each one of my records and
when I click on the plus it copies that records values into a new record
and creates a new ID.
I can then modify some of the values in the record or keep it the same if I
choose. Does that make sense?
