Incorrect description about item duplication

Open formfcw opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

There is an incorrect description about item duplication: https://directus.io/docs/guides/data-model/collections#duplication

Image

The description in the callout does not match the current behavior and could be more precise: Of course, relationships are copied. It depends on which fields are selected in the Item Duplication Fields (collection settings).

If nothing is specified in the Item Duplication Fields the (default) behavior is as follows:

  • For M2A, M2M a new junction entry is created, referencing the same related item as in the original.
  • For O2M the related item is duplicated.
  • For M2O the related item is NOT duplicated.
