Creating a Manifest from an Existing Manifest

Negroni allows you to duplicate an existing manifest as a starting point for a new one. This is useful when a new data model shares significant structure with an existing one and you want to avoid recreating it from scratch.

Overview

Duplicating a manifest copies its entity structure to a new manifest. You can then modify entities, add or remove items, and configure the new manifest independently.

Duplicating a Manifest

  1. Click the New Manifest icon in the toolbar.
  2. Enter the new manifest name and click Next.
  3. Select Duplicate Existing Manifest and click Next.
  4. Choose the manifest you want to duplicate and click Next.
  5. Optionally, manage the entity list: exclude entities or add new ones.
  6. Select whether to create only the manifest or also trigger a Martini Package build.
  7. Click Finish.

Notes

  • The duplicated manifest is independent of its source. Changes to one do not affect the other.
  • Sub-manifest references are included in the duplication.
  • Build configurations from the source manifest are also copied and can be modified after creation.
