Is there a way to duplicate a node? My client often has multiple, very similar records to enter. The differences between records may only be a taxonomy term or something similar. The vast majority of the content for those similar records is the same. Their record entry would be much more efficient if they could duplicate an existing record, make the necessary changes, and save it as a new record. Is there a way to do this?

I don't see anything for D8 at this point. I venture a version of https://www.drupal.org/project/node_clone will appear in the future.

Thanks VM. I'll have to keep an eye on that.

Looks like https://www.drupal.org/project/bundle_copy should be in D8 core?

After briefly looking at the project, I'm not sure it will do what I need. This line in particular gives me pause:

Please note that it will only export/import the bundle definition, not the content.

correct bundle copy is for cloning a form not the content.

Yes, you'll have to maybe convert node_clone or wait for it to get converted.
