Hi. I’m looking for same feature. Did you find a solution?
I have 3 custom post type (each one with similar categories). Each post type is equal to a country. But sometimes I need to publish same product for each country. So, I think It would be really good to duplicate post from one post type to another.
ps: sorry for my english.
I haven’t yet found anything that works. I expect that while possible, it would require a decent amount of programming to accomplish… or maybe not.
Looking at http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/duplicate-post/other_notes/, there are two actions provided by the plugin:
dp_duplicate_post and dp_duplicate_page
These actions accept an $old_post_object variable, which I assume contains the data to be copied. What if you could catch that $old_post_object before it goes through the duplication process and change the $post->post_type object to the type you want?
Sadly, I think those actions are for processing that information during the duplication process and not used for initiating it.
Watch this post (http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-function-to-call-to-duplication-a-customized-post-type-with-custom-fields?replies=1) and we’ll see if anything pops up. If there is a function to call that directly duplicates a post, modifying the sent information would be very easy!
Hi guys
I posted this a few days ago but noone has commented yet. Is is similar to what you want to do? Can you help me if possible? Thanks. http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/how-do-you-copy-a-post-from-one-wp-account-to-another?replies=1

Hi, sorry for the delay in answering the questions…
That would be possible, but I’m not sure I will ever add this feature, since I don’t want to complicate the UI too much, and there are already some plugins that you can use after you copied the post to change its type…
