cloning or copying list items in sharepoint 2007 moss

Question

i have been asked to develop a feature of cloning list items in sharepoint. do you think it means the same as copying the list item to another list ?

i found a couple of places saying that this can be very tricky. and take care of versioning issues etc.

has someone already implemented this because i am not sure which method to follow out of the ones i found from google ? my list is a pretty basic one so i dont think i need versioning issues fixes etc.

please give me a link to help me out regarding this.

any help appreciated

Thanks

Answer 1

Do you need to clone the item to the same list as the parent item? Then it is not that tricky. See my response in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1142014/how-to-copy-splistitem-from-one-splist-to-another-splist

Answer 2

I recently wrote a blog post about synchronising two lists, which sounds like what you are after.

Have a look here.
