[TYPO3-mvc] Copy object and add to repository

[Fabian Fisahn]

Hi List,

I try to copy an object and add it to the database:

------------------
// Change product title
$product->setProductName('[Copy of] ' . $product->getProductName());

$this->productsRepository->add($product);

// Enforce persistence
$persistenceManager =
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager');
$persistenceManager->persistAll();
------------------

This doesn't work. It only changed to name of the current product to
"[Copy of] PRODUCTNAME].

Is there an easy way to copy and add the object to the repository?

I want to avoid the manual setting of each variable.

Thanks for help
Fabian
