Entity Clone β†’ has been around for a while. What does this module offer that Entity Clone doesn't and/or why might I choose to use this module instead of Entity Clone?

    This would be helpful on the project page. Entity clone is way more heavy handed and has less granular control on fields, not a bad thing if that's what you need. I had a project with a bunch of entity ref fields, some of them with nested ref's, Entity Clone enthusiastically cloned all the ref's down the stack (again, not bad and kind of cool - if that's what you need).
    This module makes it easier for content editors to choose before committing to make a copy.

    fully agree, this module is much easier, more faster, and go directly to the edit page (create), just perfect

    It should be wider explained on module page. Maybe some difference to Entity Clone?

    @orakill explanation in #2 reminds me how node_clone β†’ worked in D7 which was pre-filling form and was allowing you to save the node (with proper filling missing fields) or not.
