Why can't I duplicate product images anymore?

Topic summary

Main issue: When duplicating a product, the checkbox to include product images is greyed out, allowing only SKUs (stock keeping units) and inventory quantities to be duplicated. This behavior reportedly changed since December, when image duplication worked normally.

Another user confirms the same problem, noting frustration with the disabled image option in the duplicate dialog.

Proposed solution: Before clicking Duplicate, select the product images you want included in the copy. After selecting images, the Image option in the duplicate popup becomes enabled.

Outcome: A user-marked solution indicates this selection step re-enables image duplication, suggesting a viable workaround rather than a platform-wide bug fix. The thread appears resolved if this method works for affected users.

I have a user when they duplicate a product the pop up tick box is blanked out for duplicating the images. They can only do SKUs and Inventory Quantities

They were able to do this in December with no issues but now it’s not possible.

Any suggestions?

I just wondered if you solved this issue with the duplicate image option being greyed out? I’ve got the same issue and it’s frustrating!

Solved : Before your duplicate a product, select images you want to appear in the new duplicate product. Once this is done and when you click ‘Duplicate’ button, you will find ‘Image’ option as enabled. Happy Shopping ! Please mark this as solution if it is resolved.
