Finding or Building a Module to Copy Multiple Resources at Once

When editors need to duplicate ten or twenty similar resources at once, manual copy-paste through the manager becomes slow and error-prone. The original discussion behind this post asked a practical question: is there already a module for copying several resources in one action?

In that case, the answer pointed to an external helper module published on GitHub. That remains the right way to think about the problem: bulk resource copying is a workflow tool, not core content logic.

When Bulk Copying Makes Sense

• catalog sections with repeating structures
• regional landing pages built from one base template
• event pages or promo pages created from a standard pattern

What a Good Bulk-Copy Tool Should Preserve

• template assignment
• TV values
• container hierarchy
• publication flags and menu order rules
• safe alias regeneration where needed

Recommendation

If the project needs this more than once, use a dedicated module or write a small internal tool instead of asking editors to duplicate resources one by one. It reduces mistakes and gives you a predictable place to handle aliases, parent relationships, and follow-up cleanup.

That is why this topic belongs in Ecosystem: the real solution is often a workflow extension around Evolution CMS, not a template trick.
