Solutions

1. Retry the operation; cloning can fail on transient I/O or lock contention.
2. Check the kernel log for the underlying clone error and ensure the source item still exists.

Example fix

Reload the database view to confirm the source row exists, then repeat the duplicate-row action.

When it happens

Trigger: Duplicating a database row whose underlying block or document could not be cloned (source removed or I/O failure).

Common situations: Occurs when duplicating an attribute view row fails while cloning the source block tree, typically because the source document is missing, locked, or corrupted.
