You can duplicate existing records by copying them to create new records.
It is useful when you want to reuse records by making some modifications to them and use the rest as is.

You can disable the Duplicate Record feature for apps that are not suitable for reusing records.
If you disable the Duplicate Record feature, the Duplicate record icon is hidden.
Disabling the Duplicate Record feature

When you create a new record by duplicating an existing record, the following fields and data are not copied:

• Record number​
• Created by​
• Updated by​
• Created datetime​
• Updated datetime
• Attachment​
• Process management information (Status and Assignee)
• Comments
• History

In addition to the fields listed above, data will not be copied for fields for which the user duplicating the record has not been granted the "Edit" permission in the Permissions for fields settings. Any such fields will be left blank.
