In the COS there is a way to clone many things like pages, templates, code files, etc. But for Custom Modules, there isn't a clone function. When I need to make a variation of a custom module I have to rebuild the entire thing. It's not so hard to copy the code, but creating all the field options is painful if there are many fields. Being able to clone one will help immensely. Also, renaming a custom module currently will remove all existing items created using that module. Not sure why that's the case, but if I have to rename one that's already being used, it's a show stopper. This should be a wish-list item as well, but by adding cloning feature it will help this problem as well because then I can clone an existing custom module and use it on new pages, get them ready, and then swap. One last thought - I can MIGRATE a custom module between portals, so another thought is to allow the migration tool to copy and paste into the same portal. I know this is not ideal, but just saying that it seems the logic already exists somewhere to make this happen. 150votes Vote
