Duplicate a Hierarchy
POST Duplicate a Hierarchy
https://api.moltin.com/pcm/hierarchies/:hierarchyId/duplicate
Using this option, you can duplicate an existing hierarchy. This is useful because it enables you to quickly and easily create multiple hierarchies with the same node structure.
When you duplicate a hierarchy, you can specify a new name and/or a new description for the duplicated hierarchy. All other attributes, such as slug and locales, stays the same.
Any nodes in the existing hierarchy are also created in the duplicated hierarchy. However, any products associated with the nodes in an existing hierarchy are not associated with the nodes in the duplicated hierarchy. Once a duplicate hierarchy is created, you must create the relationships between your products and the nodes in the duplicated hierarchy. For more information, see Create Node Product Relationships.
