Better clone packages out there

It does a basic clone with related fine but the features that would make it differentiated from other clone apps just don't work well. 1. The edit rules requires an additional click to access the list of fields you can edit prior to clone. However, inexplicably, fields that should be editable (date fields, lookup fields) are not. And there doesn't appear to be a way to change that. 2. There doesn't appear to be a way to change field values on the cloned child records (i.e. Opp Product date)

Nice component - two annoying things for me though

This is a nice concise component. Note if you want to have an object specific button, add a Quick Action to your object(not Global) and point it to this component. Then you can name it whatever you want and it will show up in the button bar. The annoying things for me are: 1) the quantity for clone should default to 1. I would imagine that's the most common quantity. Why make the user fill it in. In fact, nice if there was an option to HIDE the quantity and use 1 but I will settle for a default value of 1 when the dialog pops up. 2) When the clone ends it takes you to the list/tab of that object. It really should take me back to the record I cloned from OR maybe the Parent Object. Actually, if the user Clones just 1 object, it should then take them to that object page. Otherwise it does what it needs to but these two things do drive me and my users crazy!

Great product and great company to work with!

I installed the app and created a Lightning action called "SuperClone" to use this lightning component. Yes, you can name it whatever you would like! I had some questions and the company that developed this free App, Astrea, was very quick to respond and went the extra mile to make sure all questions were answered. Users love the SuperClone! They are able to take a quote with hundreds of related line items now and clone it one or more times in an instant. What a time saver! Users can even modify the newly cloned record before cloning and select which related lists to clone, too. Thanks, Astrea, for another great free product. I also used Octopus to document our system, which is also a HUGE time saving tool.

Could be better

Downloaded this to try as a solution to allow users to clone Opportunities with Products. Pros: Decent interface Simple to use Allows selection of related lists to clone with object Cons: Cannot rename button Cannot place button with other buttons so makes the UI look strange and disfigured Edit Rules did not work, nothing appeared
