Description

Hi,

Jetengine is a great tool but it lacks some basic functions. One of them is having an option to duplicate/clone post types and custom post types.

Real Estate and Vaction rental sites have posts that in many cases contain the same details. Adding new post again and again is very exhausting. Offcourse you can clone posts in de WP-backend but as many times property & vacation rental sites are maintained by users you dont want to give them access to the WP backend admin.

It would be great to maybe create a shortcode that you can add to CPT and CCT posts of jetengine where you can easily duplicate the posts in the front-end dashboard.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the plugin’s existing WordPress backend cloning behavior and the requirements for a frontend shortcode targeting JetEngine CPT and CCT posts. Define the permission model and confirm that users can duplicate those posts without WordPress backend access; the work is done when that frontend flow is available and usable.
