Copying and Pasting Links 

Use

If an object lookup field is already linked to an object in a lookup table, the linked object is displayed in the object lookup field’s cell. To quickly add the same linked object to another object lookup field (in the same record or a different record), you can copy the link from the original lookup field cell and paste it into the cell of the other object lookup field.

Procedure

To copy object links from one lookup field to another:

...

       1.      In the Records pane, select the record(s) containing the lookup fields with the links you want to copy.

       2.      In the Record Detail pane, right-click on the linked object in the lookup field and choose Copy Link from the context menu.

If the object lookup field is also a multi-valued field, choosing Copy All Links instead copies all of the links in the lookup field.

       3.      In the Records pane, select the record(s) containing the lookup fields on which you want to paste the copied link(s).

       4.      In the Record Detail pane, right-click in the object lookup field’s cell and choose Paste Links from the context menu.

When pasting links into a multi-valued object lookup field, you can use the Paste Links as Append command to preserve the lookup field’s existing set of links and add the pasted links to the set.

       5.      The Data Manager displays the pasted links in the cell of the lookup field.

When pasting a link into a non-mutli-valued lookup field, the pasted link replaces any existing link in the lookup field.
