Intra-Space Deep Copy

More and more, I’m running into situations where I need to deep copy an entity and its children / grandchildren (structure and content). Typically, this is a project in a space, where I want a second (third etc) instance of that project in the same space. The data hierarchy is: project 1:M sections section 1:M tasks task 1:M sub-tasks …no M:M associations Workarounds I’ve tried duplicating at the space level, but what I really need is to duplicate a project within a space. I’ve tried…

Deep Copy (intra-space)

I just posted a prototype deep copy in Share Your Space that might be useful if fully productized. It’s currently hardwired to a nested 1:M project-section-task schema, but it will deep copy all levels of the schema, as well sub-projects, sections, and tasks. So, my suggestion would be (if it’s possible) to extend this prototype (or sth like it) to support: M:M relationships automatic identification of field types, names etc. I suspect this would cedrtainly have to have limits, but even the …

Generic cloning of a hierarchy

Following a bit of discussion here in the community about duplicating hierarchies of entities, I put together a space which can be used to clone a top-level entity and all its children, grandchildren etc. At the moment, any items linked via a one-to-many relationship will be cloned (as will any items linked to them via 1:m, and so on…) m:m, m:1 and 1:1 relations are ignored, with the exception of m:? relations to users (e.g. Assignees, Owner, etc.). Once you have installed the space, go to t…

TLDR as you might expect with Fibery, anything’s possible, and there are many ways to do it, with no ‘correct’ answer
