Article Duplication Problem
Polska LU
Joomla: 4.3.3 SP PB: 5.0.2
I have set the Joomla Article integration in Page Builder. There is no (simple) way to duplicate such articles. Let me show my 2 scenarios.
I have created an article using the Page Builder.
When I open such article in Joomla and use "Save as copy" I will lose the PB part of the new article.
I expect here that you recognize such event, catch it and prepare the new article well. But I can understand it can be not easy.
So let's try another way. This is the way suggested by your AI chat.
So, I open the article in Joomla editor, then I go to "Edit with Backend Editor". There, I choose "Save as copy". I change the article and save it. In the "Preview" I can see it.
Then I close.
I will be redirected to the first article.
I close it.
In the list of articles, I can see only the old one. The new one is not there.
BUT it seems to be somewhere in the SPPB infrastructure because I can use the previous "Preview" link and see it.
So the is something going wrong.
Additional question is how one can clean your tables and remove all the created but non-visible articles?

Accepted AnswerHi there,
I appreciate you reaching out. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. I have discussed with our developer team and they said this is not possible. Alternative way is export your page and then import on your new article.
-Thanks

Accepted AnswerWhat? Realy? Than what is the menu item in Page builder: "Save as Copy" . Where can I use it when I do it editing an article.
So, one advice for you programers. How you can do it without problems:
When the user goes for the first time to the article editing in Page Biulder, add there, near to the "Import Layout" link another one "Import From another aricles". It solve the problem and user ( I have inexperienced users) can do it without exporting to the hard drive and then importing. And you can do it, because you have the layout in your tables.
