copy() method in Odoo

Hello odooers  & developers, 

Its first odoo tips and tricks article, where I would like to share more knowledge about the copy method 

as an odoo developer, knowing the fundamentals of copy method behaviour, its Syntax, and how we can use the copy() method is essential.  

Explore Copy() Method :-

The copy() method in Odoo's Object Relational Mapper (ORM) provides a convenient way to create a duplicate of an existing record in your database. This is particularly useful when creating a new record that shares most of the data from an existing one but with specific modifications.

Use of Copy() Method: -

Retrieving the Record: You start by obtaining a reference to the record you want to duplicate using various methods, such as Using the browse() method on the model to find the record by its ID.

Calling the copy() Method: Once you have the record object, you call the copy() method on it. This method triggers the duplication process.

Copy() Method usage and Syntax:-

# Get the original customer record

original_customer = env['res.partner'].browse(customer_id)

# Create a copy with a modified discount

new_customer = original_customer.copy({'discount': 15})

print(new_customer.name)  # Output: Same name as original customer

print(new_customer.email)  # Output: Same email as original customer

print(new_customer.discount)  # Output: 15 (modified value)
