​
Overview

Filament includes a prebuilt action that is able to replicate Eloquent records. You may use it like so: 
use Filament\Actions\ReplicateAction;

ReplicateAction::make()
    ->record($this->post)
If you want to replicate table rows, you can use the Filament\Tables\Actions\ReplicateAction instead: 
use Filament\Tables\Actions\ReplicateAction;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

public function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->actions([
            ReplicateAction::make(),
            // ...
        ]);
}

​
Excluding attributes

The excludeAttributes() method is used to instruct the action which columns should be excluded from replication: 
ReplicateAction::make()
    ->excludeAttributes(['slug'])

​
Customizing data before filling the form

You may wish to modify the data from a record before it is filled into the form. To do this, you may use the mutateRecordDataUsing() method to modify the $data array, and return the modified version before it is filled into the form: 
ReplicateAction::make()
    ->mutateRecordDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
        $data['user_id'] = auth()->id();

        return $data;
    })

​
Redirecting after replication

You may set up a custom redirect when the form is submitted using the successRedirectUrl() method: 
ReplicateAction::make()
    ->successRedirectUrl(route('posts.list'))
If you want to redirect using the replica, use the $replica parameter: 
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

ReplicateAction::make()
    ->successRedirectUrl(fn (Model $replica): string => route('posts.edit', [
        'post' => $replica,
    ]))

​
Customizing the replicate notification

When the record is successfully replicated, a notification is dispatched to the user, which indicates the success of their action. To customize the title of this notification, use the successNotificationTitle() method: 
ReplicateAction::make()
    ->successNotificationTitle('Category replicated')
You may customize the entire notification using the successNotification() method: 
use Filament\Notifications\Notification;

ReplicateAction::make()
    ->successNotification(
       Notification::make()
            ->success()
            ->title('Category replicated')
            ->body('The category has been replicated successfully.'),
    )

​
Lifecycle hooks

Hooks may be used to execute code at various points within the action’s lifecycle, like before the replica is saved. 
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

ReplicateAction::make()
    ->before(function () {
        // Runs before the record has been replicated.
    })
    ->beforeReplicaSaved(function (Model $replica): void {
        // Runs after the record has been replicated but before it is saved to the database.
    })
    ->after(function (Model $replica): void {
        // Runs after the replica has been saved to the database.
    })

​
Halting the replication process

At any time, you may call $action->halt() from inside a lifecycle hook, which will halt the entire replication process: 
use App\Models\Post;
use Filament\Notifications\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Notifications\Notification;

ReplicateAction::make()
    ->before(function (ReplicateAction $action, Post $record) {
        if (! $record->team->subscribed()) {
            Notification::make()
                ->warning()
                ->title('You don\'t have an active subscription!')
                ->body('Choose a plan to continue.')
                ->persistent()
                ->actions([
                    Action::make('subscribe')
                        ->button()
                        ->url(route('subscribe'), shouldOpenInNewTab: true),
                ])
                ->send();
        
            $action->halt();
        }
    })
If you’d like the action modal to close too, you can completely cancel() the action instead of halting it: 
$action->cancel();
