Hey,

Ondra's suggestion is the a good idea. Or you could have a look at Chapter 9 of Chucks "Practical WebObjects" book, which is a whole chapter on this very topic :)

And it requires an entire chapter because when you think about it, it is NOT an insignificant thing to do:

- You may not want to clone all attributes for all entities
- You may not want to clone all relationships for all entities
- If cloning an object graph you may/will encounter circular references that need to be dealt with.

Well what I mean is that  instead of

neweo.setValue(existingeo.someValue());

for every value in the existingeo which I want to transpose to the neweo.
Is there a operation like -

neweo = existineo.clone();

So all the values in the new eo are the same as existingeo but obvioulsy with a new PK..

Has anyone had experience copying an EO values fetched and in and EditingContext to a new EO in an atomic action?

"Atomic" in what sense?

Myself, I've always combined valuesForKeys and takeValuesFromDictionary, but YMMV :)
