The add record statement in Deluge creates a new entry in a specified Creator form as part of a workflow script. It assigns values to form fields programmatically and saves the record to the data store. This allows scripts to generate records automatically based on events, calculations, or data arriving from external integrations, without any manual form submission.
The standard syntax is FormName.add({"FieldName": value, "FieldName2": value2});. Field names must match the API names of the form fields exactly. The add statement fires the target form’s own On Add trigger if one exists, which means related automation on the new record will also execute. To suppress this, the disable workflow option can be used.
Deluge add record is widely used for creating child records when a parent is submitted (such as auto-generating tasks when a project form is filled), writing audit log entries, creating invoice line items from approved purchase records, and seeding reference data during application setup. It is one of the most frequently used Deluge statements in complex Creator applications.
