Can the entry generated by the Duplicate operation be specified as draft state?

Hi @zhounewz, this is now possible using the beforeDuplicate admin hook.

Here is an example of how this would look in your case:

const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  admin: {
    hooks: {
      beforeDuplicate: ({ data }) => {
        return {
          ...data,
          _status: 'draft',
        };
      },
    },
  },
  versions: {
    drafts: true,
  },
  fields: [
    // ...
  ],
};

Cheers!
