strapi-dz-component-duplicator

A Strapi 5 admin plugin that adds a Duplicate button to every dynamic zone block in the Content Manager edit view, so editors can clone a block in one click and then tweak only what changes.

What it does

In content types that use dynamic zones, each block (e.g. a "Quote", "Image", or "CTA" component) gets an action row with delete, drag, and more actions. This plugin injects a Duplicate action in that same row.

• One-click clone — Duplicate creates a full copy of the block (including nested components and media references) and inserts it right after the current block.
• Clean copy — Transient fields like id, documentId, and __temp_key__ are stripped so Strapi treats the duplicate as a new entry.
• No extra steps — Works in the existing edit view; no new screens or modals.

Useful when you have several similar blocks (e.g. multiple testimonials or CTAs): duplicate once, then change only the differing fields instead of re-adding the component and re-entering everything.

Install

npm install strapi-dz-component-duplicator
# or
pnpm add strapi-dz-component-duplicator
# or
yarn add strapi-dz-component-duplicator

Enable in config/plugins.ts:

export default () => ({
  'strapi-dz-component-duplicator': {
    enabled: true,
  },
});

Then rebuild admin:

npm run build
# or
npm run develop

The Duplicate button only appears on edit views for content types that have at least one dynamic zone field. If you don’t see it, confirm the plugin is enabled, the admin was rebuilt after installing, and you’re editing an entry whose content type uses a dynamic zone.
