Clicking Save As opens the drawer, as shown in the following screenshot. In this drawer, you can selectively include the entities you want to copy to the new item. These entities are categorized under tabs such as Attributes, Structures, and Others. You can apply more than one template to the new item and also determine the order in which the attribute values are copied.

You can select the attributes you want to copy to the new item from the Attributes tab.
