Management has requested that a button be added that would allow the duplication of a submission (record) (new ID) so the user does't have to reenter all of the content, just update a few fields.

I was surprised that no one has asked this question before.

This would be extremely useful for those who use RSForm with Directories.

Some of our clients use Forms to create 'tickets' that they can edit in Directories afterward and re-download. But it would useful for them to be able to create duplicate/triplicate copies of an original submission, so that they can go into View Directories and then edit only several of the fields and save.

Does anyone know if this feature is possible?

I am thinking the best UX would be that there is a checkbox/button/etc. in the Form that says "Make a duplicate of this submission?" YES/NO (default NO), and if the user chooses YES, then when they subsequently click SUBMIT, the system will create 2 copies of that submission in the db.
