Creating a Partial Clone

Creating a Partial Clone is a feature that allows users to create partial clones in which only selected properties of the original product are cloned.

Key Term:	Property: a data field which describes a product, can also use ‘attribute’.
Description:	A partial clone of a product contains a subset of the features of the original product as defined by a filter. Creating a partial clone allows to selectively clone the values that need to be cloned. New data can be added, and additional changes can be pushed to the cloned product.

Application:	A partial clone only allows to clone product values that are selected beforehand. Relationships to be copied should also be selected beforehand. A partial clone is created within a product. Example: Suppose a product is to be duplicated without certain values and relationships. Since the copy may have a different supplier, image, or market, we can create a partial clone wherein the relationships and attributes that are not to be copied can be left unchecked.
