Data Manager customization: preCloneRecordAction

Data Manager customization: preCloneRecordAction

The preCloneRecordAction customization allows you to run logic before the core Data Manager clone record logic is run. It is not expected to return a value and is supplied the following in the args struct:

  • objectName: name of the object
  • formData: struct containing the form submission
  • existingRecord: struct containing the data from the current record
  • validationResult: validation result from general form validation

For example:

// /application/handlers/admin/datamanager/blog.cfc

component {

	property name="blogService" inject="blogService";

	private void function preCloneRecordAction( event, rc, prc, args={} ) {
		rc.clearance_level = blogService.calculateClearanceLevel( argumentCollection=args.formData ?: {} );
	}
}
