Hello guys, I'm cloning a model with the relationships as well, everything is fine until replicate the attachments.

This works fine: $new = $model->replicate(); And if i need a relationship, this works too: $model->realstate->replicate(); But the replicate() dont work with attachments: $model->images->replicate();

Any idea about how to clone / replicate the attachment model?

Thank you

Did you find how to do this?

In case you need to duplicate attachment files, here is an example for attachOne and attachMany:

`public function onDuplicate() { $checked_items_ids = input('checked');

    $images = array_merge(
        array_keys((new YourModel())->attachOne),
        array_keys((new YourModel())->attachMany)
    );

    foreach ($checked_items_ids as $id) {
        $original = YourModel::where("id", $id)->with($images)->first();

        $clone = $original->replicate();

        $clone->sort_order = null;
        $clone->date_end = null;
        $clone->finished = 0;
        $clone->created_at = Carbon::now();
        $clone->updated_at = Carbon::now();

        $clone->save();

        $this->cloneImages($clone, $original, $images);
    }

    Flash::success('Auction cloned');
    return $this->listRefresh();
}

private function cloneImages(Auction $clone, Auction $original, array $images)
{
    foreach ($images as $image) {
        $fileModel = new \System\Models\File;
        $temp = $original->{$image};

        if (is_null($temp)) {
            continue;
        }

        if (is_a($temp, Collection::class)) {
            $temp->each(function($item) use ($image, $clone) {
                $fileModel = new \System\Models\File;
                $clone->{$image}()->save($fileModel->fromFile($item->getLocalPath()));
            });
        } else {
            $clone->{$image}()->save($fileModel->fromFile($temp->getLocalPath()));
        }
    }

    return $clone;
}

` Depends on your use case. You can put this into queue to speed up processing for the end-users.
