I'm not sure to understand Rfay : english,D.C and personnal limitation ;o).
If i create a Product Type "Book" and i want to create a product type "ebook". A lot of fields will be the same. So tha ability to clone Book to Ebook, could be great !
An other question ? Is Product Type is "exactly" the same than a content type. Can you had cck field without restriction, just like a content type ?
It's not exactly the same thing, since they aren't content types. "Content type" is a certain type of entities, called 'nodes'. "Product type" is another kind of entities. However, since entities are field:able, you are able to add all kinds of fields (like CCK, but it's not called CCK in D7).
I would like to be able to re-use alot of the setup of one product type. For example:
Simple Product
Product With Required Attributes
Product With Multiple Images
Product With Multiple Images and Required Attributes
Product for Multiple Product Display
Product for Multiple Product Display With Multiple Images
Product for Multiple Product Display With Required Attributes
Product for Multiple Product Display With Multiple Images & Required Attributes
A good portion of these have common fields so this is gonna get crazy if I must make these manually without use of a "clone this product type" option.
I understand the Field Tools... but why you use the Daemon_Byte sandbox ? i really wanted to this actions without sandbox ...i think i never used one :)
I rarely use sandbox projects, in this case I had no choice - this way or nothing I could find so far. I tested this in a local environment and it worked extremely well with 0 errors. Seems very stable to me even after using this method for production now.
Hi, thanks for the help...i now can clone variations and then clone fields to the content type...really easy.
My question is for the Displays... when cloning or creating a new, them add fields... the manage display is by default, and do not inherit the display configuration from the bundle...it is possible to clone the manage display too ?

Clone a product *and* clone a product type
I'd like to see a "Product clone" that would clone a product as well as a Product Type Clone...

Can you play (add fields) with a product type like a content type ? Or do we have to take care of some limitations ?
Me too

agree..
can't agree more. I thought this is just a simple thing but apparently I am wrong..
+1

I'd really like to see this, getting fed up of creating multiple product types that are almost exactly the same!
That would be great to have
That would be great to have clone feature and then quickly customize
Jb
Any news about this ?
I really need the feature to clone product types and variations....
Solved?
https://drupal.org/project/field_tools
https://drupal.org/sandbox/Daemon_Byte/2031677
I used Commerce clone product variation to create a variant and then used field tools to clone/copy/import default product display.
Seems to work like a charm. Would love some feedback guys...also from official commerce guys?
Thanks for the feedback

No problem

Here is the easy url should you want
http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/Daemon_Byte/2031677.git
