Community Suggestion: Feature to duplicate article completely
Feature to duplicate article completely
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
The current article copy feature is nice, but it states explicitly that it does not copy everything.
Feature suggestion : allow to copy all the text from all the fields when duplicating an article (including all specific fields, headers, footers, ...)
Why? Use case example: I use articles for sessions reports (it is an article type). I use most of the fields from the session report ("Rewards granted", "Mission completed", "Date", "Primary Location", "Related Plots", ...) It makes sense that many special fields can be very similar from one session to another. And these are not specific, it can be "scattered" all around the specific fields.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
Current situation : even with the current "duplicate article" feature, we need to open 2 windows side by side, and make roughly 15-20 copy/paste to duplicate an article then edit what needs to be edited which is specific to the copied article.
What are other uses for this feature request?
I explicitly showed the example of the typed article Session report but it can benefit to all types of articles.
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! Full duplication of articles will not be implemented due to technical constraints, but we'll look into expanding the duplication feature so it includes all text fields. Article relationship fields will most likely not be included here.24/300 Votes · +5900 points

on 2026-01-27 21:37I agree with Joella. It makes sense that we can't duplicate with the bi-directional links, but duplicating all text fields would be a huge help. I recently learned it doesn't duplicate base fields like Credits and Author's Notes.

on 2026-01-27 17:39If it's too much work to handle the bi-directional database links, it would still be really helpful if you could copy the text fields. (That seems like it wouldn't be much of a performance hit.)
