I have tried to Hide the "Create" button in Client/src/views/modals/duplicate.js, In side this.buttonList = []; i kept only "Cancel".
It is working in Espo 7.4, But when i tried the same in Espo 8.0.3 it's not affecting even after done clear cache and rebuild. What may be the issue?

Changing the source code is a bad practice.
In version 8, all base views are packed into large packages espo-crm.js и espo-main.js and, accordingly, without rebuilding these packages, the changes you make do not have any effect

Solution options: your own custom detail view for entities that require disabling the button and a custom duplicate view or checking and not allowing saving as described in the link provided

Another solution is monkey patching. I described this method on the forum a few times. With it, one can modify any frontend class. It works but should be the last resort.

Add custom css file and put the following css style:

div[id^="duplicate-modal-container"] .modal-footer button[data-name="save"]{
    display: none
}
