Copy and Model after Nodes Using Request Files and Subscriptions

New nodes can be created based on a Copy or Model After action during a request file load or via a subscription. The request file load format includes two optional columns (Copy Node and Copy Action) which are used to perform the Copy or Model After operation when loading a request file. Subscriptions can be optionally configured with Copy Action and Properties To Match parameters to perform a Copy or Model After operation in a subscription request. The subscription request will copy or model after the node specified in the original request or can automatically choose a sibling node to copy/model after based on certain matching properties.

Business Benefit: New nodes added by a request file load can copy property values and hierarchy relationships from other existing nodes in the same viewpoint. Performing a Copy or Model After via a subscription enables nodes added to target viewpoints to copy property values and hierarchy relationships of existing nodes in those viewpoints.
