Solutions

1. Retry the operation; check the kernel log for the root cause of the clone failure.
2. Verify the attribute view and its source blocks are intact (rebuild the attribute view if corrupted).

Example fix

Close other editors of the same database, reload, and repeat the row duplication.

When it happens

Trigger: A database row clone fails because the source item data or its block content could not be copied.

Common situations: Occurs when adding a new row from a template fails during the block-clone step, for example when the template document was removed mid-operation.
