Creating a Complete Clone¶

Creating a Complete Clone is a feature that allows users to create complete clones or duplicates of the product. In a complete clone, all the values of the original product are cloned into the clone product.

Key Term:	Attribute: a data field which describes a product, can also use property.
Description:	Create an identical twin of a product by completely cloning it. All attributes and tag values of the parent product are copied to the clone. A complete cloned product even has the relationship of the parent product.
Related topics:	Creating a Partial Clone
Application:	Instantly create a duplicate or copy of a product. Save time and effort in adding the same values for a duplicate of the product. Example: Suppose we have two watches with the only difference being the color of their dial. Watch 1 has a red dial and Watch 2 has a black dial. So instead of individually creating a product for both items, we create Watch 1 and completely clone it. We simply change the dial color attribute and image for the clone and we have Watch 2.
