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.

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.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Context Service, then select Context Definitions.
-
For the context definition that you want to clone, click
, and then select Clone.
- Give your new cloned context definition a name.
-
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.
-
Save your changes.
Note Definitions that are cloned from a standard definition aren’t auto upgraded.
