    Hi,
    I don’t believe this functionality exists, but I wish it did, or will in the future.  😊

    Often I have clients who make an entry into a channel that has maybe 30 fields, a LOT of fields.  Then they want to duplicate that entry, so they can have 2 entries, and just need to make a small change to the content in one or two fields.  For them to re-fill out the entry is very painful. 

    I’m trying to figure out if there is a UI trick I can use in the control panel to help them, or if there is an easy way to talk to my DB directly to duplicate the entries. 

    I’d just tell them to do it by hand, but this will happen for a few of my clients, and for some of them this would be a big time saver.  Looking for maybe a plugin that does this….

    thanks for any info.

    Phoebe
