Clone Field Definitions

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to clone the columns from one table to another in the same environment or different environment (developed by Florian Krönert).

Sometimes, the columns of the new table to be created (e.g. address columns) are the same as the columns from the existing table in the same environment or the different environment from the other project.

To clone the columns from one table to another, you can use this tool to select the target environment, target table and select the columns to be cloned.
