Remove the duplicate button in collections with auth: true (like users)

[fabioquarantini]

If I click the duplicate button in a collection with "auth: true" it generates an error.
This is because the email is unique and cannot be duplicated.
Maybe the button needs to be hidden.

Hey there - you have a few options here!

First up, you can set admin.disableDuplicate: true which will remove the button.

But second, there is a beforeDuplicate hook that allows you to transform the data of the document being duplicated to modify the email address before the doc is created.

Docs are here:

Whaddya think?

Hi @jmikrut,
thanks for the quick response.
Yes, I know the two options. My guess is for the default behavior that throws error.
