Summary by CodeRabbit

Tests
- Added coverage for creating new records across collections, agents, events, geography, loans, gifts, and other record types.
- Added checks confirming cloned records copy eligible information without duplicating unique values.
- Verified original records remain unchanged after cloning.
- Confirmed collection object groups display the Add action without a Clone action.
- Expanded validation for hierarchical records and related data configurations.

Changes

Add and Clone form test coverage

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Backend Add resource coverage `specifyweb/backend/businessrules/tests/test_add_new_resource.py`	Adds persistence tests for new resources, hierarchical records, and `CollectionObjectGroup` setup dependencies.
Backend Clone resource coverage `specifyweb/backend/businessrules/tests/test_clone_previously_created.py`	Adds clone tests that verify copied fields, new identifiers, unique values, and unchanged originals.
Frontend resource clone coverage `specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/DataModel/__tests__/domain.test.ts`	Adds clone tests that verify copied fields, omitted identifiers, saved clone values, and preservation of original resources.
SaveButton Add and Clone visibility `specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/Forms/__tests__/Save.test.tsx`	Verifies that `CollectionObjectGroup` displays the Add button and omits the Clone button.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Full details: Testing Instructions

Explanation

The PR does not provide testing instructions. Its ### Testing instructions section contains only template comments. The change adds backend Django tests in specifyweb/backend/businessrules/tests/test_add_new_resource.py and test_clone_previously_created.py, plus frontend Jest tests in Save.test.tsx and domain.test.ts. The current description does not identify these components, provide setup requirements, give commands, or state expected results.

Resolution

Populate the Testing instructions section. State the required backend MariaDB/Redis and Python test environment, then provide a command such as ./ve/bin/python manage.py test specifyweb.backend.businessrules.tests.test_add_new_resource specifyweb.backend.businessrules.tests.test_clone_previously_created --verbosity=3. State that this verifies Add and Clone persistence, copied fields, unique-field handling, and original-record preservation across the covered models. From specifyweb/frontend/js_src, provide npm run typecheck && npm run unitTests -- --runTestsByPath lib/components/Forms/__tests__/Save.test.tsx lib/components/DataModel/__tests__/domain.test.ts. State that the frontend checks the CollectionObjectGroup Add/Clone button behavior and resource cloning behavior. Include the expected result: all selected tests pass.
