Confiforms: updating values original multi-row fields when copying a record

Bartosz Drożdżal

Hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ 

we updated Confifroms to version 3.7.7.

Now we have a problem with multi-row fields when copying a record.
Unfortunately, the values ​​from the multi-row fields update in the original record.

How can we fix or work around this?

Hi @Bartosz Drożdżal 

When you copy a record and it has references to other records in the form of smart fields then you get this reference copied. Meaning that you link your new records to the same records

But for smart multi-row fields there will be a copy created for each row that is referenced through that field. 

Simple test (you will need to change the smart multi-row field configuration to be linked to the "sources" form on your page)
