Re: newbie needs to copy a record in admin to a new record

[Brad Pitcher]

I think what should work well for your use case is an admin action:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/admin/actions/

You can write code for a copy action in admin.py. This will add a "copy"
item to the dropdown in the list view, so you can select any number of list
items and copy them.

newbie needs to copy a record in admin to a new record

[frocco]

Hello,

I am just learning django and want to allow a user in admin to copy a 
record from the list to create a new record and make changes.
This will prevent having to type similar data.

How do I add a link to the admin list?
where do I put code to dup the record?

Thank you
