[Feature Request] - Ability to clone existing entity

[Squeeezeee]

[FEATURE REQUEST] - Clone of existing entity

-- Currently only available for: Creatures (NPC`s) in future potentially add on all entities like: Quests etc...

Workflow:

You can either search normally for NPC in Keira3 or select entity by ID.
There should be a button or icon to clone existing entity with all relations to it in basically new form where you can edit it fully and execute new entity to DB.

In real example:

If i select creature ID: 2479, which is vendor by default and I press clone. I would like to have also his: Vendor table cloned too (Which is associated to him by his ID). Which would give me ability to edit only items in vendor list.
And so on.

Thank you.

I think this is can be implemented wiht "template system".
You save something like template, and after you can new draft, clone and do other usefull actions.

Sometimes an existing NPC does most of what you want, for example, you may want to clone a general goods merchant but change its ID, name, and displayID.

In this case, a clone/duplicate button being able to change the ID will achieve your goal very quickly.

Super quickly.

Instead of having to manually recreate hundreds of options yourself you can just clone 90% of the needed info.

This should work for profession trainers, vendors, class trainers, town guards and gossip menus, etc.

BEWARE; Some copied info is super dangerous and may cause issues.

Please just let the ID entry to be editable at least. There is no good reason why it isnt. Let us figure out the rest. This will at least allow us to duplicate things we want even if other things dont perfectly align . Why is ID editing greyed out? What is that helping?

As it is I already use the code K3 creates, but i have to manually edit the ID, manually take it to my SQLEditor, Manually run it, and K3 somehow still manages to open the new entry just fine. So again, just please let us edit the ID and run it inside of K3. This isnt a complex change.

This issue is 5 years old, come on.

Maybe this could be easily implemented, but please open a separate issue for it.

EDIT: I will edit your other issue.
