Hi Kevin,

May I know what does SQL dump and generate new PKs do?

Also for the subform is it able to clone? I notice it doesn't.
So I have to clone the main form and the subform.

Does cloning create a new table, prefer not to create a new table is there an option for that?

Sorry so many questions! Haha!

:lol:

Hi,

At the moment subforms must be cloned separately (But I have already thought about implementing it in a future version.)
The cloner does not create a new table.

"SQL dump" just generates insert statements (and outputs them in the browser) that you can run manully in (another) nuBuider database.
Generate new PKs: If a form is cloned/duplicated in the same database, new primary keys (PKs) have to be created since they have to be unique.

I hope it is a bit clearer, otherwise just ask again.

This would have been brilliant when I was working on my project, but it is finished now. :) However, I am looking at some other things for that same non-profit so I may be jumping back in soon.

I really appreciate the active user and developer base here, this is a fantastic project and I am still stunned that it is not more widely known and used.

Last point: Trying to click on the Discord link in the signature tells me the invite is invalid. Do I need a specific one for me?
