Duplicate UX

[wherewego-nina]

When you duplicate a document, it very quickly takes you to the create page with all the filled information that looks exactly like the edit page you're coming from, making it hard to realize that an action has occurred. It would be cool if there was some visual cue that you are now on a duplicate. Maybe adding "Copy of xxxx" to the field being used as the title?? Maybe some sort of flag at the beginning of the page? a pop up confirmation before moving on? Not sure what the best solution is, but something small to help announce this action would be great.

Hey @wherewego-nina — one of TRBL's clients actually is asking for something similar too. I think one way to do this is to build a function that allows you to modify data before a document is duplicated, however you want.

We'll certainly build this. It should be fairly trivial. With this type of function, you could modify a document however you want before you duplicate.

What do you think?

I think that’s perfect!

Hey for everyone following here, this is now complete. You can use the beforeDuplicate admin hook to modify the shape of a document's data before it is duplicated. Docs here: https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/collections#admin-hooks
