Duplicating records removes all records duplicated from

[5in4]

Bug report

Describe the bug

When duplicating a record, the source record disappears when publishing the new record.
This happens because both records share the same vuid and are not detached from each other after duplicating. Therefore, all source records are hidden after hitting publish on the new record

Steps to reproduce the behavior

0. Install strapi & this plugin, create a new collection type, e.g. "page"

1. Go to a list view of any content type

2. Create and Publish a new record

3. Go back to list view

4. Click on "Duplicate Item line 1" (any record)

5. Click on "Save"

6. Click on "Publish"

-> only the duplicated record is visible on the list view

Expected behavior

Both, source and duplicated records, are visible after duplicating.

Screenshots

System

• Node.js version: v18.17.1
• NPM version: 9.6.7
• Strapi version: 4.12.0
• Database: postgres & sqlite
• Operating system: Debian & Macos

Additional context

• this is reproducible from a clean setup with versions indicated above
• injecting a new vuid in the beforeCreate lifecycle solves the issue, but might corrupt version history

Hey @5in4, thank you for reporting this bug. I was successful reproducing it. We are currently working on a release of a major version which should fix this.

issue is with auto-clone service that runs on duplicate
i created this patch for this but it's not good solution and I would love to know how to send to edit view the flag that it is a duplicate in order to not save a version after item already created
you can add this to a patch file and run patch-package
