Hi,

I built a custom clone controller but would like to find out if it is possible to  insert the url for the old record into the new record during cloning?

Hi I built a custom controller on a Opportunity object. Everything is working fine, except when I cancel the cloning operation by clickign the Cancel Button it still creates a clone opportunity. Anyone has idea as to how to fix it?

I am building a clone opportunity controller which is cloning opportunity, bid__c and and BidAccount__c  a parent, child and grandchild relationship. everything in the code is working fine except the grandchild records BidAccount are getting related to the old Child record ( bid)  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Please see the code sample below:
//This class is used to clone the Existing Opportunity and related Bids.

public class CloneOpportunityRebidController
{
   
   

    //added an instance varaible for the standard controller
    private ApexPages.StandardController controller {get; set;}
     // add the instance for the variables being passed by id on the url
    private Opportunity extOpportunity {get;set;}
  
    // set the id of the record that is created
    public ID newRecordId {get;set;}

    // initialize the controller
    public CloneOpportunityRebidController(ApexPages.StandardController controller)
    {
        //initialize the stanrdard controller
        this.controller = controller;
        // load the current record
        extOpportunity = (Opportunity)controller.getRecord();
        
    }

    // method called from the VF's action attribute to clone the Case
    public PageReference cloneOpportunity()
    {
        // setup the save point for rollback

Hi All,

DId not find a similar question in the past so here it goes:
We have created a custom clone functionality. What this does is clone the record, empty some fields, update the parents, and then inserts the record in the database. Afterwards the page is redirected to the edit page of the record.

However, the standard Salesforce Edit detail record page has a cancel button. This cancel button just directs to the ?retURL paramters. So it will go back the to detail view. 

Because we performed the clone and we needed to insert this cloned record into the DB before redirecting to the Edit page, the record will not be 'cancelled' in the way of cancellation the entire clone. So the record must be deleted again.

Is there a way to capture the Cancel event? Or to redirect the page to the edit detail view of the record without inserting it into the DB? So then the user can still Click on Save and we have the requisted functionality. 

Thanks,
Robin
