hi,
Dont know whether this will help you..
You need to do this manually.
Create plsql process for the copy button pn submit computation.
source
declare
V_column2 type%table.columnname;
V_columnN number;
begin
select column2,column3,...column N into V_column2,V_Column3...V_columnN from identification where primarykeycolumnname=:P1_PKcolumnname; -- you need to pass correctly
insert into identification(primarykeycolumn,ident_c,column2,...column N)values(seqname.NEXTVAL,'N',V_column2,..V_columnN);
end;
when the user click copy button the passed primary key row will get insert with new seq value and static 'ident_c' ='N'.
is this your are focusing to get?
thanks
