Notes
 •
 •
When using the Copy Record/Request step with repeating fields, FileMaker Pro inserts the group separator character between each repetition. You can use a text editor to replace these characters with another delimiter such as a tab or space.
 •
Any fields located in popovers are ignored when you copy records.
