v1.0.0 2026-03-30 17:09 UTC

Requires

• drupal/core: ^10 || ^11

GPL-3.0-or-later

README

Adds a simple way to duplicate content in Drupal.

• Duplicate a single node from the content list
• Duplicate multiple nodes using bulk actions
• Creates unpublished copies with a “(Copy)” suffix

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require cms-alchemy/node-duplicate
drush en node_duplicate

Features

Row-level duplicate

Adds a Duplicate link to each node on /admin/content.

Safe defaults

• Copies all field values
• Sets the current user as author
• Marks duplicates as unpublished

Behavior

• Title becomes: Original Title (Copy)

• Status: - Unpublished (if supported)

• Author: - Set to the current user

• References: - Entity references are reused, not deep-copied

Limitations

• Designed for nodes only
• Does not deep-copy referenced entities (e.g. media, paragraphs)
• Does not handle unique field constraints automatically
• Does not copy revision history

Notes

This module uses Drupal’s built-in Entity::createDuplicate(). No custom duplication logic is implemented.
