Issues with Clone URL parameter

I’ve just spent some time figuring out an issue, and thought I’d leave it here in case anyone else encounters this in the future.

I had a page with a few models, and I wanted to clone one of the models. On the advanced tab, I set the ‘load on page load’ and Clone to ‘Yes if clone is present’ but it wasn’t working - debugging in the console showed the doClone property was stubbornly false.

The issue was I was using a URL parameter in a condition to get the necessary record. The parameter’s name was jid, and changing this to simply ‘id’ made the problem disappear, and behaviour was as expected.

There’s not a lot of documentation on this feature - worth a few extra lines on one of the doco pages somewhere?

Hi Gary,

Thanks so much for sharing your solution with the community! I’ll let the documentation team know about your suggestion.

Thanks!
Amy
