ERPNext - Trying to duplicate a Doctype

Good evening, I’m having trouble when attempting to duplicate a DocType in Stock to use it in another section of the site i’m currently working, and wanted to ask what causes this and what can i do to solve this issue.

This is what’s happening:
I enter the site, head to the DocType list and check a doctype in particular (Delivery Note for example), go for the option of Duplicate and it shows a error message where it says:
DocType new-doctype-1 not found
The resource you are looking for is not available

It shows the fields of the Delivery Note, but presents this error message, i continue with writing the name for the new doctype, and as soon as i try to save the duplicated doctype it shows the following message

DocType Surtir Receta not found
The resource you are looking for is not available

And i cant duplicate the doctype, so i wanted to ask what causes this, i even checked the logs from the server to see what’s happening and saw this:

That’s what happened, good evening!

i have the same problem did you fine a solution

I also had the same problem with Duplicating a Doctype, I unchecked the Allow Auto Repeat under the Form Settings then it could be duplicate.

Hi, Good Morning!
I’m sorry if was late to reply, i’ve tested the unchecked allow auto repeat for a doctype. I was trying to duplicate a Delivery Note to use it in another module.
I came to notify that it worked, perfectly. It was what i was looking for!
Thank you so much!
