[FX.php List] Return original & duplicated record

[Beverly Voth]

The internal id created by filemaker. It can change (such as when records are imported or duplicated). But it is UNIQUE for each record in a table. You can retrieve the -recid and use it for delete or duplicate.

But for display purposes, it may be of use.
