The handy Drupal 8 module "Quick Node Clone" allows you to clone nodes easily

Are you looking for the successor of Node clone?

The Drupal 8 Quick Clone module works very similar as the Drupal 7 Node Clone module. The quick clone module allows users to make a copy of an existing item of site content (a node) and then edit that copy. Doing so the authorship is set to the current user and the menu and url aliases are reset.

Trobleshooting computed field with Drupal 8 (Drupal core 8.3.2; May 2017)

  • 8.x-1.0-alpha1 does not work with Drupal core 8.3.2 (you'll get unexpected errors) >> Choose 8.x-2.x-dev
  • Computed fields don't display on content types which existed prior the module is installed >> Create a new content type and everything works smoothly

Important: The field only updates when the node is saved (Cron, clear cache and similar not enough)
