# copyConfigRecordById

Creates a deep copy from a config record. Typical example is to create a copy of an "order" record, with a copy of all the "orderLines" from that source "order". brixxbox will use the "Cascade Copy" flag of a grid control, to decide if which referenced records will be copied.

### Parameters

1. configName
2. recordId - the id of the source record
3. additionalValues - json object of values in the target record that should be modified. e.g. an "orderDate" field. Can be null, in this case you get a 1:1 copy except the record id.

### Example Usages

Exact copy:

```javascript
   let newOrder = brixxApi.copyConfigRecordById("customerOrder", 1376);
```

Copy with new date for header data and manipulating two columns of line item data:

```javascript
   let newOrder = brixxApi.copyConfigRecordById("customerOrder", 1376, {
      cordOrderDate: new Date(),
      cordlnOrderQuantity: "1",
      cordlnDeliveredQuantity: null
   });
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://brixxbox.gitbook.io/brixxbox-documentation/client-api-reference/functions/copyconfigrecordbyid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
