Disabling Form Copy

Id like to see ( im probably the only one )

Where we can disable the copy option on forms. 

An example would be :

users would fill out a form, copy the form to save time

but Sometimes old data is still existent on non visible fields.

Thus submitting forms incorrectly.

  Karl,

  There is one thing you can do here: you might want to revise your forms and make sure that each new record opened will clear all values in the fields so they don't carry values from last record. This can be achieved by adjusting your javascripts in dynamic values. If you need more information on this please let me know. Would be happy to walk you through it!

  Hey Karl, one of our customers just asked for similar things. You might want to take a look at Rebekah's post below and see if your use cases overlap. Would like to discuss more with you guys on this.

   Thanks Penny, 

  Ive now been quite fond of the 

  else (dcn=-1){""} i found that this quite well in our circumstances. 

  Main our forms consist of picklist data, so we have a few fields in our form which update dynamicaly either from a manual entry or by lookup, one thing i found works quite well is

  IF (DCNpicklist=option{DCN1) else if (DCNPicklist==option1){table.dcn} else if (DCNPicklist==-1){""} else {""}

  bit of extra work but seems to do the trick.
