Clone a product when you have a new product that is an update to an original but you still have stock of the original or they will both be sold side by side

Hi, Morgan Steel! Thanks for the feedback. We will review the requirement internally to further analyze it and will keep you updated. Meanwhile, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share more details about this feature's needs, as well as use cases or business scenarios, to make it more useful.

Orderhive Cin7: Sure thing.
I am unsure if you are aware of how TradeGecko/Quickbooks used to allow for cloning of products, but effectively we would like the same option.
If you are unfamiliar with how they managed this then see below:
Instead of allowing for cloning of a full configurable product family. We would instead like to clone a variant within that product family. This would then give us the option to edit or alter slight things about the product before saving and creating the new variant under the product.
This is extremely helpful when we may only add part of the full family as we may not need them all initially, then after we may sell or have enquiries about this product, we can clone and edit an existing member of the family so all information is copied across, we can then change certain items of the variant that are different to the one we have cloned. This speeds up the process considerably when creating a new variant as things like Retail Price/Supplier/Buy Price/Product options/Names/Skus are mostly all created as we need and only require a few slight changes/alterations.
