As the title says, what are the simplest ways to duplicate a product, so that the copy includes all the custom fields?

Thanks

Yes, clone the product. The new product is a complete copy except for the ID but is unpublished.

Oh... I forgot to mention that I tried it with products that contain custom fields from 3rd party extensions (breakdesigns customfields4all). They don't seem to be copied over to the cloned product.

Yes you got it right, that's how it works.

I just use the VM default customs, they copy OK.

Yes, you are right too:

VM default customs -  copy OK - right place for question is this forum
Breakdesign CF4All - copy without CF - right place for uestion is breakdesign forum

That is normal and that's how it works.

Anything else?

Thank you all very much, I will ask the 3rd party for a solution.
