Create a Detach variant operation

You can save a variant as a standalone entity by applying a copy profile to detach it from its original entity, which involves configuring an Overwrite values operation, as follows:

1. On the menu bar, click Manage .
2. On the Manage page, click Pages.
3. On the Pages page, click the target entity page.
4. In the Entity operations page component, add an Overwrite values operation.
5. To add a copy profile configured to detach a variant, click , and select the copy profile in the list.
6. Click Save.

To detach a variant from the original entity, the copy profile used should at least contain the following:

{
    "method": "Remove",
    "name": "{Definition}To{Definition}Variant"
},
{
    "method": "Overwrite",
    "value": false,
    "name": "M.{Definition}.IsVariant"
}

When used, this operation has the following effects:

• Removing the {Definition}To{Definition}Variant member disconnects the variant and the original entity.
• The method to overwrite the M.{Definition}.IsVariant member with the value false causes the entity to become an original, instead of a variant.
