Do not duplicate SEO meta data when duplicating a product

[Zyles]

Description (*)

When you duplicate a product in the database a new product is created with the SEO data being the same.

99.9999999999999999999999999999999% of the time when you duplicate a product you do it because you want to use the same attributes for the next product, since it is usually a similar product.

What you do not want (usually) when duplicating is the same product name, the same SKU, and possibility not the same description or the same URL key as the previous product.

What happens is after you duplicate the product the SEO data stays the same. And unless you click down the hidden header you may forget to update that information, and your new duplicated product will have the same SEO meta data as your old product.

This adds extra useless work to empty this data every time you duplicate a product.

Expected behavior (*)

A better solution would be to empty that data on duplication and save the new information on save.

Fields to be emptied/not duplicated:

• URL key
• Meta title
• Meta keywords
• Meta description

Benefits

1. Less work.
2. Less problems.
3. Less duplicate meta tags.
4. Better user experience.
5. Better SEO experience.
6. Better SEO rankings.

Additional information

When you duplicate a product in the database a new product is created with the SEO data being the same.

If you disagree, please state in what use case you want duplicate SEO content.
