您还可以检查acts_as_inheritable gem。

Acts As Inheritable是一个Ruby Gem，专门为Rails/ActiveRecord模型编写。它意味着与自引用关联一起使用，或者与具有共享可继承属性的父级的模型一起使用。这将允许您从父模型继承任何属性或关系。”

通过将acts_as_inheritable添加到您的模型中，您将可以访问这些方法:

inherit_attributes

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

  acts_as_inheritable attributes: %w(favorite_color last_name soccer_team)

  # Associations
  belongs_to  :parent, class_name: 'Person'
  has_many    :children, class_name: 'Person', foreign_key: :parent_id
end

parent = Person.create(last_name: 'Arango', soccer_team: 'Verdolaga', favorite_color:'Green')

son = Person.create(parent: parent)
son.inherit_attributes
son.last_name # => Arango
son.soccer_team # => Verdolaga
son.favorite_color # => Green

inherit_relations

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

  acts_as_inheritable associations: %w(pet)

  # Associations
  has_one     :pet
end

parent = Person.create(last_name: 'Arango')
parent_pet = Pet.create(person: parent, name: 'Mango', breed:'Golden Retriver')
parent_pet.inspect #=> #<Pet id: 1, person_id: 1, name: "Mango", breed: "Golden Retriver">

son = Person.create(parent: parent)
son.inherit_relations
son.pet.inspect # => #<Pet id: 2, person_id: 2, name: "Mango", breed: "Golden Retriver">

我通常只是复制属性，改变任何我需要改变的:

new_user = User.new(old_user.attributes.merge(:login => "newlogin"))

要获得副本，使用dup(或clone for < rails 3.1+)方法:

#rails >= 3.1
new_record = old_record.dup

# rails < 3.1
new_record = old_record.clone

然后您可以更改任何您想要的字段。

ActiveRecord覆盖了内置的object#克隆，为您提供了一个新的(未保存到DB)记录，该记录具有未分配的ID。 请注意，它不会复制关联，因此如果需要，您必须手动执行此操作。

Rails 3.1克隆是一个浅拷贝，使用dup代替…

简单的方法是:

#your rails >= 3.1 (i was done it with Rails 5.0.0.1)
  o = Model.find(id)
 # (Range).each do |item|
 (1..109).each do |item|
   new_record = o.dup
   new_record.save
 end

Or

# if your rails < 3.1
 o = Model.find(id)
 (1..109).each do |item|
   new_record = o.clone
   new_record.save
 end     

在Rails 5中，您可以像这样简单地创建重复的对象或记录。

new_user = old_user.dup
