How to allow users to create a Clone/duplicate of a record's Form in a model-driven app?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a Power Apps model-driven app, and I’ve received a requirement where:

Sometimes, strategy plans may last longer than 5 years. To accommodate this, the user should be able to create a new version of an existing Office Strategy Plan by copying the current record and then updating the fields they need.

I want to explore the best way to implement this feature, preferably without using JavaScript, and ideally using low-code/no-code tools like Power Automate or Quick Create forms.
 

  • A user-triggered way (e.g., command bar button) to duplicate a record

  • Ability to copy all relevant fields from the selected record

  • Option for the user to edit the new record (e.g., version number, dates)

I noticed that the Command Bar (modern) only gives options like Run JavaScript and there's no "Run formula" (Power Fx) as only for Canvas App available. Has anyone handled a similar “clone” or “create new version” use case? Would love to hear your suggestions or approaches — whether via Power Automate, embedded canvas app, or other tricks.
Thanks in advance!

    Please do not post in multiple spots. There are very few of us who actually answer and it adds additional work for us.
