It is not possible to copy an entire record type in ClearQuest
Problem
This technote states that it is not possible to copy or export an entire record type in Rational® ClearQuest®. A method for copying a form design is explained.
Solution
There is no functionality within ClearQuest to copy or clone an entire record type. The record type must be recreated from scratch.
It is possible to export the record forms for a record type. This avoids having to redesign a new form.
To export a form:
Right click on the form and select Export form. This will export a file with a .frm extension. Specify a file name that is identical to the original form name to identify the form's purpose.
Note: Any fields in the form that do not exist in the new record type will either need to be removed from the form or added to the new record type.
To import a form, right-click on Forms in your target record type and select Import form. Select your form to import and click the Open button.
