Let's say I have a table with multiple fields and I want to add multiple duplicate records. But I cannot use any working field of my table as the primary key.. instead, I want to use a key that will automatically be generated every time I add a record so that I would have multiple duplicate records.

Just like we have a RecId in other ERPs like FinOps.

Thanks

And you will also have to define the new field as the primary key on your table and that can be a challenge if you already have data in your table.

So one option could be to create a new table withe the EntryNo as PK and then migrate your old data to your new table.
