What SKU cloning copies and its default names

See exactly what a cloned SKU duplicates, which defaults it fills in, and what it never copies.

1. Cloning a SKU (into an existing group, with a new group, or via bulk clone) creates a deep copy: the low/high 3D models, all attached images, and any linked finish material are duplicated (not shared), linked SKUs (e.g. edge bands) are re-linked to the clone, and the default price is copied. Sales channels and per-channel prices are copied ONLY if the 'clone sales channels and prices' option is chosen - otherwise the clone starts unmapped from every sales channel, which is why a fresh clone may not appear for designers until it is added to a channel. Automation rules attached to the original are NOT copied at all. Defaults when fields are left blank: name becomes 'copy of <original>', model number becomes '<original>_1', the clone records 'Cloned from <original id>' internally, and if no ERP code is supplied a uniquified variant of the original's code is generated so codes never collide. Clone-with-new-group can place the new group in a different sub-category, but only within the same category; cross-category cloning is rejected. The clone always becomes owned by the cloning workspace, so cloning is also the standard way to take an editable copy of a subscribed catalogue item (when its owner allows cloning).

2. When a cloned item has no 3D model in the source, the 3D model must be added to the clone afterwards, because costing is per unit.

3. Items that already carry a 3D model in the source keep their existing model on the clone.

4. A non-owned catalogue item may have zero SKUs that your organisation owns among its total SKUs.

5. An 'owned' label on an SKU means your workspace created or cloned it; non-owned SKUs belong to Infurnia and can only be partially edited (for example, only their ERP code in bulk edits), so cloning is the way to get a fully editable copy.

6. The default name is 'Copy of <original>'.

7. Because a clone keeps the original's linked-SKU reference, if the clone is meant to use a different material or component you must change the linked SKU on the new SKU; otherwise it keeps pointing at the original's linked SKU.

8. Check the linked SKU in the clone's SKU properties after cloning.

9. The clone keeps the original's internal mappings and access rights, so the new item behaves correctly when placed in a design.

10. When you clone a whole SKU group, each copied SKU's name and model number are pre-filled the same way: 'copy of' the original SKU name and the original model number with a '_1' suffix, which you can overwrite before confirming the clone.
