Duplicated documents upload to the same folder

[thompsonsj]

Consider how to resolve the issue of duplicated localized documents uploading to the same folder on Crowdin.

This is resolved in your Payload installation by adding an appropriate logic in a beforeDuplicate hook:

const beforeDuplicate: BeforeDuplicate<LandingPage> = ({ data }) => {
  return {
    ...data,
    // prevent this landing page from localizing to the same folder on Crowdin
    ...(data.crowdinArticleDirectory && {
      crowdinArticleDirectory: null,
    })
  }
}

Expecting the user to modify their configuration is not ideal. I can currently think of two better possibilities:

• Can beforeDuplicate be defined as an array? Seems to be an object so hooks cannot be merged. Change to Payload CMS?
• Modify plugin behaviour to no longer modify existing documents. Details as follows.

This could be resolved if we move to a version of this plugin that doesn't modify the original document (i.e. we store data in our own collections - we don't modify existing documents by adding a crowdinArticleDirectory relationship field). In this case, CrowdinArticleDirectorydocuments will link to a specific document. When duplicated, a document will have a new id so this will no longer be an issue.
