Question

Is there an API that will allow my to copy or duplicate and item just getting a single version?
Item.Duplicate() and Item.CopyTo() both get all numbered versions and languages.

I’m on Sitecore 6.3.1.

Answer 1

item.Versions.RemoveAll(true); also removes the most recent version.

You could copy or duplicate the item (with all its versions) and then try something like this:

   private void RemovePreviousVersions(Item myItem, bool includeAllLanguages)
    {
        // get the most recent version
        Item currentVersion = myItem.Versions.GetLatestVersion();
        Item[] versions = myItem.Versions.GetVersions(includeAllLanguages);

        // loop through the item versions
        foreach(Item itemVersion in versions)
        {
            // remove the version if it is not the most recent
            if (!itemVersion.Version.Number.Equals(currentVersion.Version.Number))
            {
                itemVersion.Versions.RemoveVersion();
            }
        }
    }
