Create duplicate records automatically

[Emmker]

I have an entity 'CLicense' with a field 'quantity'.
I am trying to have a formula to autocrate 'quantity -1' extra duplicate records when I save the original record.

Trying to use the while function:

$n = quantity -1;
$count = record\count(CLicense, "serial", serial);

while($count < $n)    
{record\create(CLicense, 'licenseType',licenseType, 'kind', kind, 'serial', serial)};​ 

I get error 500 when I am trying to save the original record.

It is my first time with the while function and I am a bit lost here.

With a modification of a code that someone posted here (and was deleted) I did it with:

$n = quantity - 1;
$i = 0;

while($i < $n)
{
   record\create('CLicense',
                 'licenseType', licenseType,
                 'kind', kind,
                 'serial', serial);
   $i = $i + 1;
};​

Sorry if I misled you. Proposed formula script was unfinished and I wanted to finish it and send you the correct one. However, I'm glad I could help you.

lazovic Was that you? Thank you.
The unfinished one created endless records but I fixed that.
Thanx again
