    Form 'Copy' button function

    When a form uses the 'Copy' button a new record is created, but the date_time on the new record is the same as the original record. Is it possible to catch that event in a plugin and update the date_time to the current date-time?

    Using Link element in list display via Fabrik list module

    I have an 'link' list element. This is working great for normal list and form displays. The link is stored as "https://mydomain.com...".

    How to use an element to display a custom link?

    I have an ID (e.g. xyz1234567AB). I want to represent that to users as a that value, but displayed as a link to a file that is https://staticdomain.com/staticpath/1234567AB.pdf. Is there a reasonable way to do that natively in Fabrik? Or, would it need to be some custom JS or even a custom plugin?
