Hi everyone! đź‘‹
I have a setup where one main record (like a **purchase order** ) is linked to multiple related rows (like **order items** ), each stored in a separate table.
I’m trying to create a **“Duplicate” button** that would:
1. Duplicate the main order (this part works — a new row is added).
2. Then **duplicate all related items** and link them to the new order.
The challenge is that currently, I can only duplicate the related rows **one at a time** , using a button in a list. But I’d like to avoid having users click 10+ times to copy each item manually.
* * *
**âť“Is there a way to duplicate multiple related rows with a single button click (without using the Glide API)?**
I’m on the **Maker plan** , so API access is not available for me.
Any workaround ideas would be super appreciated. 🙏
Thanks in advance!

Do you have access to the latest triggers? You can loop through the related rows as long as you pass the “original parent ID” and it should work.

Would it be possible just using Make? I tried asking GPT, but it insisted that I needed to use Glide API to make it work

Do you have access to these types of triggers? Honestly I think it’s much easier compared to you using Make.

@ThinhDinh would you recommend Manual Trigger for this use case? If yes, do you have a tutorial for it?

Yes that’s exactly it.
Here’s a template link @Lasevicius .

I just removed those tables. Please try it again.
