Is it possible to duplicate a entry as a draft entry? I need a function to duplicate an (published) entry as a draft entry. Now if I duplicate an entry it will immediately publics that entry an that fires some plugin events (sends mails) I didn't want.
You can refer to this How can I copy an entry?

Just change:

$newEntry-&gt;enabled = $oldEntry-&gt;enabled;


to

$newEntry-&gt;enabled = false;
