Using Pipelines instead of Copy Master Detail
Has anyone used pipelines instead of the Copy Master Detail feature to automate the process? Would like to use a trigger rather than requiring users to press a button. Thanks!! ----------------...

- Also found this workaround:

Create a template table and use to populate live table with pipelines

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouI did not take the time to try to watch that video but if you were simply trying to copy records from one table into another then yes you can do that with a simple pipeline.
But copy master detail is much more powerful. It will copy children in from many child tables into a new project for example and also would be able to copy grandchildren and great grandchildren infinitely down the line into a new project.
So maybe Copy Master Detail was overkill for your current needs.
