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 pos…

[image] IMTanuki: So, my suggestion would be (if it’s possible) to extend this prototype (or sth like it) to support: M:M relationships Quick question: imagine I have a space with dbs called Meeting and Topic, which are related m:m In other words, a Topic may be discussed at many meetings …

Hey @Chr1sG I think there are 2 potential scenarios, and each has valid use cases. Scenario 1 - each project (and its children) are standalone and unrelated to other entities in the same space, including their respective children and grandchildren. The underlying assumption in most of my use cases…

A general purpose cloning/deep-copy solution certainly needs a way to determine how to treat each relation “appropriately” (i.e., whether to clone the related entity, or just link the existing one).

@Matt_Blais I know this is sth you’ve thought about and worked on, so … another dimension to this problem is cycling thru each property/field in a database to determine how to copy it - boolean, single-select, rich text fields all have unique requirements. Have done anything with “auto-recognition” …

Hey @Matt_Blais ! Thx so much for posting this! This answers a lot of questions about cycling thru the schema w/o hardcoding my script. I’ll add to the next version of my deep copy script. Tweaking Fibery is becoming a FT hobby…
