Copy Entities
In the ComUnity Developer Toolkit, we understand the importance of efficiency and productivity when it comes to creating entities in your data model. To help streamline the entity creation process, we provide a handy feature called Copy Entities. This function allows you to quickly duplicate existing entities, saving you time and effort by leveraging pre-existing configurations.
The Copy Entities function is designed to simplify the task of creating similar entities or replicating entities with similar properties, fields, or settings. Instead of starting from scratch and manually recreating each entity, you can utilise the Copy Entities function to duplicate an existing entity as a starting point. This not only accelerates the entity creation process but also ensures consistency and reduces the chance of errors or omissions.
To utilise the Copy Entities function in the ComUnity Developer Toolkit, follow these steps:
Right-click on the entity you want to copy. This action will open a context menu.
In the context menu, select "Copy this entity." This will trigger the opening of a modal titled Copy Entity.
In the Copy Entity modal, specify the name for the new entity by entering it in the New entity name box. Choose a unique and descriptive name for the copied entity.
Finally, click the OK button to initiate the copying process. The selected entity will be duplicated, and the newly created entity will be added to your data model.
By following these steps, you can efficiently create copies of entities within the ComUnity Developer Toolkit. This functionality allows you to speed up the entity creation process and streamline your data model management.
