I have a basic resource with a script that contains a few export Strings and an image texture. How can I duplicate it with a new image or modified strings by code?

Resource has a duplicate method, so do this:

var cloned_resource = my_resource.duplicate()
cloned_resource.my_string1 = "stuff"
cloned_resource.image = load("res://my_image.jpg")
