* Copy Child Branch Fields code snippet for FH V7

[tatewise]

The KB code snippet Copy Child Branch Fields fails for FH V7 scenarios involving rich text Notes and source citation metafields.
The function CopyBranch(...) needs amending as below:

Code: Select all

function CopyBranch(ptrSource,ptrTarget)
  local strTag = fhGetTag(ptrSource)
  if strTag == "_FMT" then return end    -- Skip rich text format code
  if strTag == "_FIELD" then             -- Substitute metafield shortcut
    strTag = fhGetMetafieldShortcut(ptrSource)
  end
  local ptrNew = fhCreateItem(strTag,ptrTarget,true)
  if ptrNew:IsNull() then return end     -- Escape if item not created
  fhSetValue_Copy(ptrNew,ptrSource)
  CopyChildren(ptrSource,ptrNew)
end -- function CopyBranch

Mike, please use the KB contact form for corrections such as this -- thanks.

OK, but thought it worthwhile publicising here as I don't suppose authors will go checking the KB for changes

Thanks for this update, Mike, which I've now used to revise my old plugin "Clone any Record", following a request from a keen user. However, I am more than a little puzzled by Copy Child Branch Fields which was updated at least twice yesterday and now contains four occurrences of "<wbr>".

[ColeValleyGirl]

Fixed (unless Mike says differently).

I know he and Colin had a bit of to-and-fro trying to get it correct...

[tatewise]

Sorry. The KB administrator had difficulty understanding what needed updating.
Helen requested I use the KB Contact Form but that upset the script layout indents, etc, adding further confusion.
There only seems to be one <wbr> remaining now. Why not use the KB Contact Form to report that mistake?

[ColeValleyGirl]

Don't bother logging it -- I've fixed it.
