Fantastic, thanks telecastg, I'll give it a go.
Update: I did as you suggested and I now have a relationship with Email so thanks for that telecastg. Unfortunately, though, I still can't create a relationship with Target Lists - any ideas on how to do this?

Parent-Children relationships can not be specified within the Administration panel, in order to "clone" Contact as NewPerson, after you have created NewPerson through the Administration panel, you need to do a little development:
Compare the contents of Contact's metadata json files:
("Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Contact.json" and "Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Contact.json")
to the custom NewPerson metadata json files:
("custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/NewPerson.json" and "custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/NewPerson.json")
add json elements to each as required to make files match, adapting all references to point to "NewPerson" instead of to "Contact"
rebuild the applicationLast edited by telecastg; 04-13-2019, 07:18 PM.

Can the Contact entity be cloned/copied?
Hi
I need to create a custom Person-type entity with all the functionality of the Contact entity. I’ve created a new Person type entity but can’t add all the relationships to it that Contact has. For instance, I can’t replicate the relationship to Email as there’s no Parent-to-Children option and I can’t create a relationship with Target List at all as it doesn’t appear in the drop down list.
Could you please advise if this is possible at all?
Thanks
