Cloning an Asset

You can create one or more new assets by cloning an existing asset. Cloning is the act of creating a duplicate application, asset, or service request using an existing application, asset, or service request as a template. Civic Platform automatically generates asset IDs for an asset created by cloning.

When you clone an asset, all the attributes except the Asset ID are copied to the new asset. For example, if you clone a water line, the line length, line width, flow, and pressure attributes are copied to each of the new assets.
