Cloning Existing Items

[Stephen Brush]

Hi,

Just wondering if there is any feature in DSpace to clone/copy/duplicate an existing while creating a new one?

Even if not in the front end perhaps the API/Java code?

Thanks,

Steve

You could version the item, or if you don't want to version, you could export the metadata/item and then in the CSV replace the UUID with + for a new item and import.  I haven't tried that but it should work.
