Copy Functionality #47

Closed frugardc closed 13 years ago

frugardc commented 13 years ago

Is there a module object "copy" or "clone" functionality?

Something like...

opp = SugarCRM::Opportunity.first

opp2 = opp.clone

What are you trying to do?

frugardc commented 13 years ago

For historical forecasting, once an opportunity gets cancelled, we want to create a copy of that opp with a negative revenue to cancel out the positive. Not my rules, just a requirement I have to fill. So I basically just want to clone an opp, switch the revenue to negative, and save it.

You should be able to achieve that this way

opp = SugarCRM::Opportunity.first
opp2 = SugarCRM::Opportunity.new(opp.attributes)
# manipulate opp2
opp2.save!

It is to be noted that when you call new with an attributes array, the 'id' value is automatically stripped if it is present. Depending on your particular case, there may be other attributes you want to remove...

If you're doing this a lot, you might also want to put the code to do it in an extension.

Let me know if you run into issues.
