Clone Row
Description
Clone Row duplicates each incoming row a specified number of times and outputs the copies directly after the original. Use this step when your workflow needs to create multiple copies of each record — for example, generating duplicate entries for testing, producing multiple output lines per input record, or feeding the same data to parallel processing paths. It can add a flag field to distinguish clones from originals and a clone number field to identify each copy.
