Replicating an occurrence provides a template for a new occurrence. No value is provided for the primary key field for the replicated occurrence; you must enter a unique value for the new occurrence. Any of the following methods leaves the original occurrence unaltered and adds a new occurrence to the table.
From the Table Editor, use the R line command to create a replica of one or more occurrences (you can replicate several occurrences at one time):
You can replicate an existing occurrence by invoking the Single Occurrence Editor for an existing occurrence. Change the primary key value to a value that does not currently exist. You can then edit values for other fields as required.
For example, if the occurrence with primary key 80003 currently appears in the Single Occurrence Editor and you change this value to 81033 (perhaps changing values of other fields as well), a new occurrence is created.
If used from the Table Browser, the new occurrence is inserted in its correct position based on the primary key as soon as you save from the Single Occurrence Editor. If used from the Table Editor, the new occurrence is first inserted after the selected occurrence and repositioned after you save from the Table Editor.
