I have a problem with replicating one of my models with all the relationships.
The database structure is as follows:
Table1: products
id
name
Table2
This code, worked for me:
$model = User::find($id);
$model->load('invoices');
$newModel = $model->replicate();
$newModel->push();
foreach($model->getRelations() as $relation => $items){
foreach($items as $item){
unset($item->id);
$newModel->{$relation}()->create($item->toArray());
}
}
Answer from here: Clone an Eloquent object including all relationships?
This answer (same question), also works fine too.
//copy attributes from original model
$newRecord = $original->replicate();
// Reset any fields needed to connect to another parent, etc
$newRecord->some_id = $otherParent->id;
//save model before you recreate relations (so it has an id)
$newRecord->push();
//reset relations on EXISTING MODEL (this way you can control which ones will be loaded
$original->relations = [];
//load relations on EXISTING MODEL
$original->load('somerelationship', 'anotherrelationship');
//re-sync the child relationships
$relations = $original->getRelations();
foreach ($relations as $relation) {
foreach ($relation as $relationRecord) {
$newRelationship = $relationRecord->replicate();
$newRelationship->some_parent_id = $newRecord->id;
$newRelationship->push();
}
}

The code works fine for many to many relationships in my experience.
