[Tips & Tricks] Drupal 8 & 9: Make a redirect to "Edit" mode after replication any node

Redirect to edit mode after cloning the node.

While Replicating Nodes using Replicate and Replicate UI Module, I found that the module will publish a node immediately (shows "view" mode) after replication. What I would like is when it is replicated the replicated node opens in edit mode so that a content manager can make the necessary changes before publishing it. Otherwise, it creates too many steps for them to go through.

For our project, I've implemented this with a custom event subscriber, which unpublishes any replicated node and makes the redirect to edit mode.

UPD: Actually, this functionality was implemented in the Replicate Actions module.

Have a fun.
