====== DUPLICATE ======

This action duplicates an instance of the specified business object or list. 

===== Syntax =====

''DUPLICATE'' AttributeIdentifier() [ ''TO'' AttributeIdentifier() ][ ''EXCEPT'' Id () ( '','' Id ())* ][ ''NO RULES'' ]

Where the first attribute identifier identifies an object or list to duplicate and the second one – the list to duplicate the original list to. The ''EXCEPT'' keyword identifies attribute names that should be excluded from duplication.

The ''NO RULES'' keyword creates an object without executing any rules at all. Be careful with this keyword as this may create an instance of the object with invalid data.

<callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note">Business rules for objects created by ''DUPLICATE'' will not trigger on ''IS NEW''. Use ''CREATE'' instead.</callout>
