Adding and duplicating related records
• If the related field is in a portal, type data into the field in the last row of the portal, then commit the record (for example, by clicking anywhere outside the record or selecting another record). Select the related record in the portal (making sure the whole row is highlighted), then choose Records menu > Duplicate Record.Note You can only add related records from the current table if the relationship has been defined to allow the creation of related records. If a related table is in a write-protected file, or the user doesn't have access privileges to create records, FileMaker Pro doesn't add new records.
