Clone list nodes

Good morning, I need help solving a problem I can't figure out.
I think the only possibility is to use this wonderful module but I can't find a logical sequence of actions.
It's this: I need to allow some users (with appropriate permissions) to clone some nodes that show one date (which are actually restaurant menus) with another date. Specifically, I need to allow you to clone a week's programming and postpone it to another month, for example.
I think the logical thing is to use eca vbo to select the menus, then via eca tamper add a timestamp value representing the time delta to add, then creating the entities and saving. All things work for me if I have to create just one entity, I don't understand how to behave if it involves creating a certain number of entities. Maybe I should operate with a list?
Thanks for collaboration!

    to clone some nodes that show one date

    That sounds like you could use a view to provide you with the list of nodes that need to be processed.

    Maybe I should operate with a list?

    Yes, the Views: Execute query action provides such a list and then you can loop through all contained entities, modify the date value and save each of them.

    Examples on how to work with views and how to loop through lists are contained in the ECA Guide, most of them are linked in the right column of the above action under "Backlinks".
