2 years ago I doubt we will make this as a built-in feature because various ORMs/ODMs use different syntax for creating new records so this clone method will have to be included in every adapter that we support.
This can be easily done through a custom action though and that's how we usually implement this in our AdminJS-based projects.
Something like this should work:
const cloneRecord = async (request, response, context) => {
const { record, resource, currentAdmin } = context
const { id, ...paramsWithoutId } = record
// Add "cloned_" to params you need etc
let newRecord = resource.build(paramsWithoutId)
newRecord = await newRecord.create()
return {
record: newRecord.toJSON(currentAdmin)
}
}
// ...
actions: {
clone: {
actionType: 'record',
component: false,
handler: cloneRecord,
},
},

Describe the problem feature solves I have a db record I want to clone/use as template.
Describe the solution you'd like A "clone" button that duplicates the record and modifies unique entries by prefixing them with cloned_
Describe alternatives you've considered dunno
