Duplicate Event Workflow Operation

ID: duplicate-event

Description

The duplicate event operation can be used to duplicate an event by copying an existing one. The main use case are events, which contain a series of different presentations which were all recorded with just one recording. In order to create separate events for each presentation, the original recording can be copied and each copy can be cut to only contain one presentation. If the original event was already published, the duplicate won't be published right away. The user will have to publish it manually when he is done editing it.

For each duplicated event the new media package ID is stored as a workflow property:

Name	Example	Description
duplicate_media_package_*number*_id	duplicate_media_package_1_id=e72f2265-472a-49ae-bc04-8301d94b4b1a	Media package ID of the duplicated event
duplicate_media_package_ids	duplicate_media_package_ids=e72f2265-472a-49ae-bc04-8301d94b4b1a, a32e2265-472a-49ae-bc04-8351d94b4b1c	comma separated list of Media package IDs of the duplicated event
