Clone model and modify existing data in laravel, If you want to make a copy of a row in a table and also change some column data before saving it to the database. You can change it by assigning a value to column using column name on a newly created model instance after replicate method. All the values of columns of the newly created post will be the same except the title and data or changed as per your table structure like id (which is a primary key with auto increment), created_at and updated_at fields (current timestamp).

If your post has categories and tags. You can copy it and save it to the database. You can use the attach() method on a models relation, to insert categories and tags on the pivot table to the newly created record. You have to get id of post which you want to make duplicate and assign to $id variable.
