[Vtigercrm-developers] Recreating feature from vtiger 5.4.0 in 7.4.0 for Inventory records?

[Alan Lord]

yeah - I know weird isn't it.

Anyway I've got Ajax Saving working in Detail View. I'm listening for 
the PostAjaxSaveEvent in my client code if this field changes, add a 
custom param to the url and use location.assign(url), this then sends 
the user to the Edit View page. In the Edit View class I take a bit of 
what happens when you duplicate so I replace all the data from the new 
Quote (or Sales Order), but do not create a "new" Sales Order (or 
Invoice). It keeps the same number - which is what the customer liked 
about this old feature (I told him it was very unusual to do this but 
that's what he wants).

I've just to got work out how to something similar if the user is in 
Edit View and changes the Quote/Sales Order now.

Cheers

Al
