Hello everyone,
I have two connected tables as follows:
Table one: ID_table1, Date_t1
Table two: ID_table2, ID_table1, Date_t2, x, y, z
In table 1 i also have a column with ref_rows from table2.
I would like to make an action or automation to copy this tables to other tables (same columns) but i need to change IDs because they must stay unique. While doing this, while setting up new IDs, i still need to keep the references through the tables. I also need to give the user the possibility to change the date.
To sum up, i need a way to copy two related tables to two more tables while changing dates and IDs and keeping references.
I tried to use actions and automation but it seems quite difficult, maybe would be better to use Appscript?
NOTE: Records to table 1 are added via automation when adding records to table 2. If i use Actions/Automation/Appscript to copy rows between table, will the first automation still start? In this way i would have more data than i need.
Thank you very much

Let's assume the following tables:
Schedule Template:
id | Day | Employee | ... |
1 | x | a | ... |
2 | y | b | ... |
Week:
id | year | week |
202301 | 2023 | 01 |
202302 | 2023 | 02 |
Weekly_Shift
id | Week (Ref) | Day | Employee | Date | ... |
ghj489 | 202301 | x | a | formula from week & day | ... |
pyt873 | 202301 | y | b | ... |
The creation of a new Week record can drive the copying of all schedule template records into the weekly_shift table, referenced to the just-created week record. Use a reference action to do so.
I don't understand why your main question seems to be about the id values. Just use UNIQUEID() for the id column of weekly_shift. Not really sure what your other questions may be here.
