status of an order after copiying

Hi,

What you can try is create a mass action with a trigger "before an order is created" with an action "update the values" on the order_status column with the string value "created".

Hi,

The reason is simple. It's a copy and normally a copy is supposed to be identical to the original.
Now, you didn't say why you're copying orders, so I suppose it makes sense in your case to reset the order status but that might not be the case for other uses. You seem to be trying to use that "copy" function as a "reorder" function. Is that the case ? Could you explain why you're copying orders ?
There is actually a "reorder" button you can activate so that customers have a "reorder" button when they look at their order so that they can easily purchase things they already purchased in the past.

Hi,

Well, in Joomla it's standard that on any listing of data, you have a "new", an "edit", a "delete" and a "copy" button.
So we implemented these buttons in a similar way so that people arriving on a listing of data of HikaShop are familiar with the interface from the get-go.
So the "copy" button on any listing (be it in Joomla or HikaShop) will generate an identical copy based on the original element. For example, the "copy" button of the products listing won't empty the name of the product name, and the copy button of the Joomla articles listing, won't empty the title of the article. But in most cases, when you do a copy of these elements, the first thing you'll do will be changing the name/title.
So likewise, I don't see it "correct" to by default change the status of the copied order.
So the goal was not to use that button as a reordering button. That was actually added on the frontend for the customer to do it by himself, as I was saying in a previous message.
But I can see that it indeed almost fill in the role of a "reorder" button.
Now, having an option to set the status of an order after the copy could be done. But we already have too many options in HikaShop. That's why I would recommend to just create a mass action if you need to often use the "copy" button as a "reorder" button.
It will do the job for your use case, and other merchants won't have an extra option that the large majority will never need to change.
