Thank You, It's work 👍

Glad you found it useful.

Thank you, it works great! But I need to copy more than one row. Any idea how to do it?

Off the top of my head, I'd remove the lines

if ($models->count() !== 1) {
    return Action::danger("Cannot duplicate multiple models simultaneously.");
}

then wrap the body of the code in foreach($models as $model) before finally returning an appropriate error message.

I can't recall why I intentionally avoided duplicating multiple resources. Hopefully this works for you.

But, in my code I don't have this lines :-(

And also when I have: abstract class DuplicateResource extends Action it shows error. So, I removed abstract and it works for one record.

It's written as an abstract class so that you extend it for your own needs rather than just using it directly. If you just want to hack it in place, probably remove $model = $models->first(); and put in a foreach on the $models parameter.

The PHP docs can be pretty tough to read but try https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.abstract.php. There are probably lots of other good resources on OOP that will help you better understand abstract classes too.

@ns139426 thankyou thankyou thankyou. your work is greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks a lot. I appreciate you effort.
