Copying a Logical Feature to Another Object

This topic describes how to reuse or copy a logical feature from the context object to another object.

Note: If you manually add a configuration feature to a product or product variant and then add it as a design variant to a logical feature, that configuration feature will be retained in the product or product variant context even if the design variant is removed.

Before you begin:

Access the Properties page for a logical feature. For details, see Logical Features Page.
