            Clone a Context Definition

            Clone a Context Definition

            When you create a context definition, manually entering attributes and tags can be time-consuming, especially if your node has several attributes. To save time, clone an existing context definition and modify it based on your requirements. When cloning an extended context definition, you can also preserve the inheritance to the parent context definition.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Lightning Experience
            Available in: Developer, Enterprise, Professional, and Unlimited editions for Industries clouds where Context Service is enabled
            User Permissions Needed
            To clone context definitions: Context Service Admin

            		Available (Auto upgrade and Sync Now option available)
            Customizations Customizable (can edit, delete, or add components) Only additive changes are allowed (to add new components)
            Editing Standard Components Edit or delete components, including standard components Can't edit or delete standard components
            Use Case Full flexibility for creating a custom definition Customization on top of the Standard Definition, while preserving all the standard components
            Important
            Important The newly cloned context definitions show the same active or inactive state as the context definition from which it's cloned.

            While cloning an extended definition, if Preserve Inheritance is selected, the new clone is created in an inactive state so you can edit it before activating it.

            1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Context Service, then select Context Definitions.
            2. For the context definition that you want to clone, click Arrow pointing down, and then select Clone.
            3. Give your new cloned context definition a name.
            4. While cloning an extended definition, to maintain the inheritance to the parent standard definition, select the Preserve Inheritance checkbox.
              When you preserve inheritance, your cloned definitions, including all custom nodes, attributes, and mappings, remain eligible for upgrades in future releases.
            5. Save your changes.
              Note
              Note Definitions that are cloned from a standard definition aren’t auto upgraded.
