It would be helpful to have a setting that specifies a UDF fields value will not be copied to new record when using the Copy From create. There can be UDF fields that should be unique to a record. Copying them to a new record makes it easy for the user to forget to update the copied value to a new, unique value. UDFs marked to not copy from would leave the field at its default on the new record and not copy value to it.

  • Which UDF entity is being copied? Some UDF entities have 'Copy From' data sources in User-Defined Field and Table Maintenance. You need to specify which UDF to copy.
