Copy Attribute

After an attribute is defined, you can clone the definition with the Copy Attribute command.

This page discusses:

Syntax

This command lets you duplicate defining clauses with the option to change the value of clause arguments:

copy attribute SRC_NAME DST_NAME [MOD_ITEM {MOD_ITEM}];

  • SRC_NAME is the name of the attribute definition (source) to copied.
  • DST_NAME is the name of the new definition (destination).
  • MOD_ITEM is modifications that you can make to the new definition. For more information, see Modify Attribute.

History Clause

The history keyword adds a history record marked “custom” to the attribute that is being copied. The STRING argument is a free-text string that allows you to enter some information describing the nature of the copy operation. For more information, see Adding History to Administrative Objects.
