Please check below post for same issue
1) https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000227675&type=1

To accomplish this Task we have to do 3 things. 

(1) Create a VF page with standard controller as lead and apex class as extension 
<apex:page standardController="lead" extensions="customcloneLead">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="Lead details">
<apex:pageBlockSection title="My Content Section" columns="2">
<apex:inputField value="{!lead.company}" />
<apex:inputfield value="{!lead.firstname}"/>
<apex:inputfield value="{!lead.lastname}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:commandButton action="{!clonelead}" value="save clone"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
        </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
(2) Create a apex extension class. 
============================= 
public class customcloneLead{
private lead l;
public customcloneLead(apexpages.standardcontroller std){
this.l = (lead)std.getrecord();
}

public void clonelead(){
lead l1 = new lead();
l1 =l.clone();
insert l1;
}
}
(3) Create a custom button on the Lead object which can be an onclick javascript button depending on your needs. Add that button in the layout. 
Sample Javascript Button:
=====================
window.location.href = "/apex/customcloneLead?id={!Lead.Id}";
Note - you can modify the javascript according to the needs of your business use case. 

Disclaimer: This is only a sample code and you can modify and use it on your discretion by testing the use case in your sandbox.

            PageReference pr = Page.HighRiskSuccessFactorsVFPage;
            pr.setRedirect(true);
            High_Risk_Success_Factors__c hr = [SELECT id,name FROM High_Risk_Success_Factors__c where id =:con.getId()];
            High_Risk_Success_Factors__c clonedhr = hr.clone(false,true,false,false);
