Clone Fields

Essential

Clone Fields lets you clone one or more custom fields from the current object into another target object in a single flow.

How to Launch​

  1. Open Objects and select an object.
  2. Go to the Fields tab.
  3. Select one or more fields.
  4. Right-click and choose Clone Fields.

What It Does​

When you run Clone Fields, Brobench:

  • takes the selected custom fields
  • reads latest field metadata from Salesforce
  • opens the Create Fields dialog in copy mode
  • pre-fills field definitions from the selected source fields
  • pre-fills Field Access using union access from selected fields

This allows you to review/edit before creating fields in target object.

Key Rules​

  • Only custom fields can be copied.
  • You must select at least one field.
  • Target org connection must be writable (not read-only).
  • If metadata read fails for some fields, app continues with successfully read fields.

Clone Flow​

Step 1: Select Source Fields​

Select the custom fields you want to clone from source object.

Step 2: Choose Target Object​

In the Clone Fields dialog, select the target object where fields should be created.

Step 3: Review Field Definitions​

Review or adjust field details before create:

  • Type
  • Label / API Name
  • Description / Help Text
  • Type-specific properties (length, scale, picklist values, etc.)

Step 4: Review Field Access​

Use Field Access to verify profile/permission-set access before creating fields.

Access is initialized as union of selected source fields:

  • if any selected field grants Read/Edit for a profile/permset, cloned config grants it
  • you can still modify access before final create

Step 5: Create Fields​

Click Create Fields to deploy fields to target object.

Notes​

  • Field names/types still need to be valid for target object context.
  • You can remove or edit any copied row before creating.
  • For field details, see Bulk Create Fields.
  • For access behavior, see Field Access Editor.
