-Duplicate

The -Duplicate command tag allows a record to be duplicated within a FileMaker Pro database.

The database and table for the duplicate action should be specified using the -Database and -Table command tags. The specific record to be duplicated should be specified using the -KeyField and -KeyValue tags to identify the primary key field and specific key value.
