Clone Button

Hey there,

 

I have created a VF page with extension that will re-direct the user to a visualforce page with the correct tab open after creating a new record. I tried putting that same page onto the clone button and although it autofilled the correct fields, upon attempting to save I was left with this:

 

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0 with id a0LN0000000OsBEMA0; first error: INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE, cannot specify Id in an insert call: [Id]

Error is in expression '{!SaveFactFinder}' in component <apex:commandButton> in page factfinderext

 

 

Class.extSaveButton.saveFactFinder: line 11, column 1

 

 

Am I able to do it like this or do I have to create an entirely different VF page and extension?

 

Thank you,

 

Mikie

change this

if(System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get("clone") == "1"){

 

if(System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('clone') == '1'){

Hi,

 

This is happening because the page is opening the record you are viewing. In the saveFactFinder() method add a simple check to know if the record is being cloned. If it is, remove the record id before inserting the record.

 

Ex.

 

public PageReference saveFactFinder(){

    if(System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get("clone") == "1"){

        //Set record id to null

        myFactFinder.Id = null 

    }

    ...

   

    insert myFactFinder;

}

 

Hope this helps!

I tried changing the code as you said. It ended up looking like this:

 

public class extSaveButton {

public Fact_Finder__c fac {get;set;}


public extSaveButton(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
this.fac = (Fact_Finder__C)controller.getRecord();

}

Public PageReference saveFactFinder(){
if(System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get("clone") == "1"){
//Set record id to null
fac.Id = null
}

insert fac;
// Send the user to the detail page for the new account.
PageReference pageRef= new PageReference('/apex/DestinyAccountTest?id='+fac.account__c+'&Sfdc.override=1');
pageRef.getParameters().put('tab','FactFinder');
return pageRef;


}

}

 

 

 

Put upon saving i was left with the error:

 


Error: Compile Error: line 13:57 no viable alternative at character '"' at line 13 column 57

 

 

Thank you so much for your time.
