You could use the replicate method of model like this:

// Retrieve the first task $task = Task::first(); $newTask = $task->replicate(); $newTask->project_id = 16; // the new project_id $newTask->save(); 

You could use replicate method. This will create a new object with the same values except the primary key, and the timestamps. After that you can save your model:

$task = Task::find(1); $new = $task->replicate(); 

If you want you could change a property

$new->project = $otherProject; 

and then

$new->save(); 

if you want the new ID, easy:

$newID = $new->id; 

You can use replicate() and then update that row:

Model::find(1)->replicate()->save(); $model = Model::find(1); $model->project_id = $new_project_id; $model->save(); 

also you can do like this.

$selected = Model::find(1); $copy = $selected->replicate()->fill( [ 'project_id' => $new_project_id, ] ); $copy->save();
