create, delete, and duplicate
Jacques TUR
These instructions allow you to create, delete, and duplicate a record. Their usage is straightforward and well-documented in Ninox's official documentation:
Key details not covered in the Ninox documentation:
The create, delete, and duplicate instructions return a rid (Record ID), not a nid (Node ID).
From a syntax perspective, both types (rid and nid) can be used similarly:
Example:
var myRid := duplicate(first(select Customer));
var 'first name' := myRid.'First Name';
var myNid := first(select Customer);
var lastName := myNid.'Last Name';
---{'first name'} {lastName}---
Compatibility between rid and nid
If you want to assign a rid to a variable of type nid, you can use the rid.id notation to make them compatible:
Example:
var myRecord := first(select Customer where 'First Name' like "z");
if not myRecord then
myRecord := create Customer.id;
myRecord.'First Name' := "Jacques";
end;
By using rid.id, you ensure compatibility between the two types when necessary.
