What is the easiest way to clone an Ecto model / record? I have a sample recipe model with many ingredients and embedded labels.
Model
defmodule App.Recipe do
use App.Web, :model
schema "recipes" do
field :name, :string
has_many :ingredients, App.Ingredient
embeds_many :labels, App.Label
end
Clone recipe record How can I clone a recipe record and create a changeset for inserting a new recipe record?
recipe = Repo.get(App.Recipe, 1)

new_recipe = Repo.insert(recipe_changeset)
Clone recipe and ingredients and assign new recipe id to ingredients

There's 3rd party tool called Snapshot from Cobalt to clone the record along with its relationships. But it doesn't work for N:N relationships. 1) you need to clone records by plugin / workflow so you are asking for a c# method?
1Create a flag field into the entity that you need to clone called “CloneRecord” of boolean type Develop and register a CRM c# plugin on the Update of that field. The plugin use the “EntityExtensions.Clone” method of the SDK to accelerate the copy of the entity You will need to clone the “header” and “details” of the quote (for our example).
Just remove the id before you insert it again.
Repo.get(App.Recipe, 1)
