Clone Devices

Hi,

Sometimes we have to set quite a few properties on devices, it would be great to be able to clone these. EG - nodes in a cluster.

clone
device

    I support the suggestion, and there is at least one significant difference between host-level properties and putting them on the group.  In our case, it's the API.  We use the API to manage host properties.  When you do a "getHost", there is no way to distinguish between properties that are on the host level, versus inherited from a group.  Thus, we work with all properties at the host level, and mange them via an API. Still, when we add a host, we often want to clone one from the cluster, including hidden credential properties, and there's no way to do so.
