Thanks for the reply.

I tried unsetting the 'id' value, but most strangely, the result is
that it changes the original record anyway!

I've tried it a dozen times, just to make sure, but that is indeed what
is happening.

function copytest($id)
{
                $this->Applicant->id = $id;
                $this->data = $this->Applicant->read();
                unset($this->data['Applicant']['id']);
                $this->data['Applicant']['schoolyear_id'] = 16;
                $this->Applicant->save($this->data['Applicant']);
}

If I pass it $id = 1, then it modifies record 1 in the database and
sets the schoolyear = 16.

If instead, I use this code:

function copytest($id)
{
                $this->Applicant->id = $id;
                $this->data = $this->Applicant->read();
                $this->data['Applicant']['id'] = null;
                $this->data['Applicant']['schoolyear_id'] = 16;
                $this->Applicant->save($this->data['Applicant']);
}

It leaves record 1 alone, and creates a copy into record 2 with
schoolyear = 16 -- which is exactly what I want, EXCEPT that it also
creates copies into record 3 and record 4, both with schoolyear = 16 as
well.

Any ideas?
