entity.clone( )
entity.clone( )
The entity.clone( ) method creates in memory a new entity referencing the same record as the original entity. This method allows you to update entities separately.
Note: Keep in mind that any modifications done to entities will be saved in the referenced record only when the entity.save( ) method is executed.
This method can only be used with entities already saved in the database. It cannot be called on a newly created entity (for which entity.isNew( ) returns True).
C_OBJECT($emp;$empCloned)
$emp:=ds.Employee.get(672)
$empCloned:=$emp.clone()
$emp.lastName:="Smith" //Updates done on $emp are not done on $empCloned
