Smart rule or script to convert duplicates to replicants

hello, I have a database with many duplicates located in different groups. I want to convert the duplicates to replicants, and leave both in their respective groups.

I looked for a Dupes to Replicants script but can’t find one, including in more scripts

I tried to create a smart rule but am confused as to how to do so in particular the last step.

thank you very much

Use menu Data > Convert > Duplicates To Replicants.

thank you @pete31
I had seen the menu item but could not use it because it is greyed out
For it to be active, one has to highlight a series of documents, not groups or subgroupd and that it the problem
My problem is that the group contains hundreds of subgroups which I would like to process all at once. Otherwise, I will still be sitting at my computer when the whole of Antarctica has melted.

Create a Smart Group kind:any with scope set to the top level group. In the Smart Group select all records, then use the menu item.

Alternatively you can just use the duplicates smart group in your DB.

Yep. Forgot this because I delete all default smart groups in every new database.
