The following post is to show you how to create a Copy Button for  a custom object. This button will have the functionality of copying the entire record including the attachments. Demonstration Video below:   The set up for the video demonstration is as below: Custom Object name is: OSCSalesObj  with the below properties: Name (API Name): OSCSalesObj (OSCSalesObj_c) Description: OSCSalesObj Display Label: OSCSalesObj Plural Label: OSCSalesObj Record Name Label: OSCSalesObj Name Record Name Data Type:Text Standard Fields Standard Fields First in creating the Copy Button we will be using 2 SOAP Web-services: Sales Custom Object WS: LINK Opportunity WS: LINK Register this Web-Services in Sales Cloud I have named my web-service references as Obj and attach. Next go to fields and make a text field, call it Warning_c Now go to Object Functions on the custom object and create anew Object function with this proprieties Function: showWarning Returns: void
def rand = new Random()
setAttribute(‘Warning_c’,rand.nextInt())
Now go to Validation tab server scripts and create a field Validation on Warning_c . Error message should be something like: The record has been copied successfully Code:
adf.error.warn(null)
Now move to the Actions and Link. Create a new button in the Actions and Link of the Custom object Call it Copy. With this specifications: Function: Copy Returns: void
try{
 
def Name = “Copy :” + RecordName + ” “ + now();

def vCountry_c = Country_c
def vOwner = Owner_Id_c
def Partner = Partner_Id_c
 
boolean CustomCheckBox = false;
if(CustomCheckBox_c==‘Y’){
CustomCheckBox = true;
}
 
def objectName = ‘OSCSalesObj_c’
def object =

Account_Id_c:vAccount_c,
