Once you've changed the attributes, click save, and the trade will be cloned. The resulting trade will be identical to the source trade, with the exception of the changed attributes on the clone form and any audit-related attributes, such as created and updated timestamps.

#### Cloning Group Trades <a href="#cloning_group_trades" id="cloning_group_trades"></a>

To clone group trades, check out our [How to Group Trades](https://help.molecule.io/article/169-how-to-group-trades) article. Then, hover your mouse over the commodity icon of the trades you'd like to group. When you're finished, your grouped trades should look like this:&#x20;

Next, follow the steps above to clone your group trades.&#x20;

#### Additional Notes: <a href="#additional_notes" id="additional_notes"></a>

* Trade attribute external\_source will be set with a value of "clone" on the new trade.
* Trade attribute external\_exec\_id will be unset on the resulting trade to avoid any possible unexpected results with API logic to dedupe trades.
* If no trade date is provided, the resulting trade will have a trade date equal to the user's local date at the time of cloning the trade.

That's it! We hope this will save you some time. If you have any questions, please let us know at <support@molecule.io>
