EA Clone doubt
« on: June 14, 2022, 12:53:55 am »
Hi,
I have a doubt regarding the cloning of elements in EA, I am developing an addin that works with it and I need to identify from the original element which elements are clones, so far I can verify that they are elements related to this by "trace" and have a different version to the original element.



Is there any other way to identify clone elements in EA? in the t_objects table the 2 elements are identical, is there any other way to verify this? either by api or by database?

Which mechanism do you use to create the clones?
Are you using the time aware modelling stuff (Clone element as new version)?
In that case I think you'll need to use the trace as you discovered.
