Make Copy

This action is used to clone some system object, like Alert or Widget. It creates a new object first, and then copies properties from the source object to a newly created one using context copy operation.

There is no Move action. To move an object, copy it and then delete it.

1. A new context is created, of the same type as context being copied. Its name is auto-generated by appending "_copy" to the name of the copied context. Its description is also auto-generated by appending the word "Copy" to the Description of the original context.

2. User is prompted to change the name and description of a context to be created.

3. All settings are copied from the original context to the newly created one. Read-only variables and fields are not copied. For more information about the logic behind copy operations, see Context Copy Operations for more info.
