I've asked for this in the forums, but there was no answer. The only way I've found is patching node.module.

Changing status to patch. Also changed the text from Duplicate to Save as New, it is much more appropriate.

http://drupal.org/project/node_clone has > 13k D7 users despite being a rather pathetic little module and duplicating content seems like a pretty basic function of a CMS?

And for continuity for this issue, it was inspired originally by the functionality chx proposes for core in tis issue. "This module is similar in purpose and function to the "Edit As New" module that was available for Drupal 4.5."

This module has had a large following in 4.7.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x - maybe time for core as part of an improved authoring experience?

Drupal\Core\Entity\Entity::createDuplicate()

@larowlan - well, that's an interesting addition, but seems to basically just unset the uuid and entity id?

There is no UI for duplicating an entity is there?

This is perfect for contrib, e.g https://www.drupal.org/project/replicate_ui

Closing as this issue has gone stale.
