  Hi @zhounewz, this is now possible using the beforeDuplicate admin hook.

  Here is an example of how this would look in your case:

  const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
    slug: 'posts',
    admin: {
      hooks: {
        beforeDuplicate: ({ data }) => {
          return {
            ...data,
            _status: 'draft',
          };
        },
      },
    },
    versions: {
      drafts: true,
    },
    fields: [
      // ...
    ],
  };

  Cheers!
