Copy Record Button On View Page

Good Morning,

I am trying to figure out how to use the "copy" function from the list page on the view page:
I would the option to copy the current record from the view page to add a new record ( Add Litter Mate ).
Here is the overall desire.

I run a pedigree site and user add their dogs to the site.

When they create a dog, they are taken to the view page.... I need an option on the view page to copy the current record

When a user is adding multiple dogs ( an entire litter ) it is cumbersome for them to search for the that entry in the list page ( well over 10,000 dogs in list ).
the list copy is working as desired based on what I put in the "Copy Page:Onload"
I need this function on the view page as well...
any guidance or help where I can find this in the manual or an example code that I can look at would be appreciated.

... for inspiration purposes only. It is NOT a direct answer to your question, but is basing on your 10,000 dogs database

and the time consuming and boring task for your users to find the right one out of the whole bunch to be added.

Though the tutorial talks about CAR BRANDS, MODEL and YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION to later under so, called CHAINED DROPDOWN, it

can serve on a larger DOGS database as well (dog name, sex and year of birth in different years in the past) to considerably

narrow down the selection task being done by the users.

P.S. Should you want to go this way, I think you should give HORIZONTAL FILTER PANEL

(to select out of 10,000+ dogs easily) a deeper look, as per https://xlinesoft.com/blog/2020/02/11/making-search-panel-horizontal/
