In any record, when I select duplicates Odoo creates a duplicate even if I do not save (DISCARD).
this is true for anything; be it contacts, product, sales orders, BOM, operation, etc,
I expect a duplicate ONLY if I save.

This is by design. The "Duplicate" in Action menu is calling the copy() method and direct to edit enable view mode.
To accomplish what you like, you could create a custom button with corresponding function.
This function should return a window action to form view with context and default_field.
Should look like this
def action_duplicate(self):
self.ensure_one()
context = {
'default_field_1': self.field_1,
'default_field_2': self.field_2,
'default_field_3': self.field_3,
......
......
...... and so on
}
return {
'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
'view_type': 'form',
'view_mode': 'form',
'res_model': 'model.name',
'views': [(self.env.ref('module_name.form_view_xml_id').id, 'form')],
'view_id': self.env.ref('module_name.form_view_xml_id').id,
'target': 'current',
'context': context,
}
If you hit save, record is duplicated, discard will have nothing happen since you only open a form with default value.
