Implements feature request: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/possibilite-…de-dupliquer-un-tableau-de-bord/10393 ### Description A user asked on the forum to be able to duplicate a dashboard, the way scenes can already be duplicated. This PR mirrors the scene duplication design end to end for dashboards. **Server** - New `server/lib/dashboard/dashboard.duplicate.js`, modelled on `scene.duplicate`: - the source dashboard is looked up with the same permission rule the existing dashboard `getBySelector`/`update`/`updateOrder` code uses (a dashboard I created, or a public one), and a `NotFoundError` is thrown otherwise; - the copy keeps the `type` and the `boxes` of the source dashboard (faithful copy of the widgets/content); - the copy gets a brand new unique selector built with `slugify(name, true)` (slug + 4 random characters), like scenes do; - the copy is created through `dashboard.create` for the user asking for it, so it is placed at the end of *their* dashboard list (position = highest position + 1); - visibility: a dashboard you own keeps its visibility, while a public dashboard belonging to another user is duplicated as a **private** dashboard, so duplicating never re-shares a second copy with the whole installation. - New route `POST /api/v1/dashboard/:dashboard_selector/duplicate` (authenticated) and its controller, returning `201` with the new dashboard. **Front** - New "Duplicate" button in the dashboard edit page actions (next to Cancel / Delete / Save), which opens the new page `/dashboard/:dashboardSelector/duplicate`. - New `front/src/routes/dashboard/duplicate-dashboard/` page, built like the scene duplication page: it loads the source dashboard, prefills the name with `Copy of <name>`, lets the user change it, calls the new endpoint and redirects to the edit page of the new dashboard. Name conflicts (`409`, dashboard names are unique) and unknown errors are displayed. - New i18n keys (`duplicateDashboard.*` and `dashboard.editDashboardDuplicateButton`) added to `en.json`, `fr.json` and `de.json`. **Tests** - `server/test/lib/dashboard/dashboard.duplicate.test.js`: duplicating my dashboard (name, type, boxes, position, unique selector with random suffix), duplicating my own public dashboard (stays public), duplicating a public dashboard of another user (becomes private and belongs to me), unknown selector and private dashboard of another user (both not found). - `server/test/controllers/dashboard/dashboard.controller.test.js`: `POST /api/v1/dashboard/:dashboard_selector/duplicate` success (201) and 404 cases. - Patch coverage of the changed server files verified locally at 100 % (statements, branches, functions, lines). ## Forum Forum: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/possibilite-de-dupliquer-un-tableau-de-bord/10393 ### Checklist - [x] Server tests pass: new `dashboard.duplicate` lib and controller tests pass, and the full `npm test` suite shows no new failure (the only failures in my sandbox are pre-existing environment ones: gateway backup/restore shelling out to the `sqlite3` CLI, Docker and network tests) - [x] Coverage: `c8` run on the changed server files reports 100 % on `lib/dashboard/dashboard.duplicate.js` and `api/controllers/dashboard.controller.js` - [x] Linter and prettier pass on both front and server (`npm run prettier`, `npm run prettier-check`, `npm run eslint`) - [x] `npm run compare-translations` passes and `npm run build` (front) succeeds - [x] No undocumented breaking change (only additive: one new endpoint, one new front route) - [ ] Cypress not run in my environment (no browser binary). The existing dashboard specs under `front/cypress/e2e/routes/dashboard/` were reviewed: they target the Save/Delete/Edit buttons by their own translation keys, which the new Duplicate button does not collide with. Note: this pull request was opened by an automated Claude Code run. It needs a human review before merging. --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01BRdJPgpjHkz9LKu39n8fm8)_ ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added the ability to duplicate dashboards from the dashboard editor. * Users can customize the copied dashboard’s name with validation and conflict feedback. * Public dashboards can be copied, while copies made from another owner’s dashboard are private by default. * Added localized duplication flows in English, French, and German. * **Bug Fixes** * Added handling for missing dashboards and duplication errors.
