    <p>Hi Shiban,</p>
    <p>its not safely possible to clone a item in general.<br>
    </p>
    <p>A) you need to make a new nodeid to prevent some issues</p>
    <p>B) there is no safe cloning mechanism declared, different
      subtypes of items have different mutable state you dont want to
      mix</p>
    <p>I believe the closest you can get is creating a new item that is
      reasonably equivalent.<br>
      The Details of that would depend on what the actual Item subtype
      is.<br>
    </p>
