try
function copytest($id)
{
$this->Applicant->id = $id;
$this->data = $this->Applicant->read();
$this->Applicant->id = null;
unset($this->data['Applicant']['id']);
$this->data['Applicant']['schoolyear_id'] = 16;
$this->Applicant->save($this->data['Applicant']);
}
or what I usually do
function copytest($id)
{
$this->Applicant->id = $id;
$this->data = $this->Applicant->read();
$this->Applicant->create(); // create a new record for saving
unset($this->data['Applicant']['id']);
$this->data['Applicant']['schoolyear_id'] = 16;
$this->Applicant->save($this->data['Applicant']);
}
