New or Old product when duplicating / cloning

[jokn74]

The problem

When duplicating a product the "new" product has the old creation date copied, but in most cases the new product is a new product and not an old product.

The solution

When duplicating a pop ud could ask if the duplicate should be considered a new product, with today as creation date.

Alternatives

There should be to different duplicate options:
1: Duplicate as new product
2: Duplicate as old product

Additional context

The database contains the date both in [ps_product] and [ps_product_shop] so both dates should be modified to the desired date.

Do you plan to work on this subject?

• I'm willing to contribute a formal specification.
• I'm willing to provide any wireframes or design assets required for this feature.
• I'm willing to submit a Pull Request that implements this feature.
• I'm willing to help verify that the implemented feature works as intended and produces no unintended side effects.

Totally agree about the problem.

date_add should only be set by the object model with the current date at the time of creation, not get the date from the old product.

I'm currently working on a problematic linked to this date_add field on product tables, I'll take care of this as well.

yep my bad, I tested on new product page but checked the wrong column and gave wrong info to @matthieu-rolland 😅
That's why he deleted his message I think, but the bug is indeed on the new product page and should be fixed, good catch

[matthieu-rolland]

I have a fix, a pr will come soon 👍

The product is actually correctly duplicated with the current date in date_add, but it is overriden just after with former date_add value during the shop association. It doesn't seem voluntary but rather a bug. @jokn74
