When managing lists or objects, what are the advantages of a "clone" action over "copy & paste", if any? What are the disadvantages? Or when should you use one pattern over another?
I assume a clone action would: 1. Automatically duplication an object in a list 2. Increment the name to something like "Object 1 copy" 3. Automatically enter the edit state/mode for the object in the list to allow the user to make changes. From there a user can cancel or save the changed object?
Thanks.
