The “Duplicate” action in the Forest Admin interface for creating a new record by duplicating an existing one.
Observed behavior
When attempting to duplicate a record in the Forest Admin interface, the action fails with an error if a search or filter is applied in the top search bar before triggering the “Duplicate” action. Specifically:
I navigate to the “Stores”(the error occurs on any entity) collection and select a record (or view its details).
If I use the search bar at the top to filter records (e.g., by typing a keyword), and then select a record and use the “Actions → Duplicate” option, the duplication process fails.
After filling in the fields (or leaving them as is) in the duplicate form and submitting, an error message appears:
“An error occurred when trying to create store. The stores__meta__ field was not found. AVAILABLE_FIELDS: [id, external_id, enabled, name, custom_name, description, domain, lat, lng, address, translations, offline, phone, status, source, synonyms, last_sync_at, created_at, updated_at, banners, offers, verticals, stores_domains, stores_countries, image, imagePreview, logo, logoPreview, store_location, en_description, pt_description]. PLEASE CHECK IF THE FIELD NAME IS CORRECT.”
Additionally, any “Before Create” hooks I’ve set up are not triggered when this error occurs, as the process fails before reaching that stage.
However, if I do not use the search/filter bar and simply select a record and duplicate it, the action works as expected, and a new record is created successfully.
Expected behavior
The “Duplicate” action should work consistently, regardless of whether a search or filter is applied in the top search bar. After selecting a record, choosing “Actions → Duplicate,” filling in the form, and submitting, a new record should be created successfully without errors.
