Description
Description
Java models should have a way to easily create a clone or copy. Cloneable seems like a bad idea so I think we're probably left with a copy function or copy constructor.
I couldn't find anything in issues search. Has this been suggested before?

Research direction
The issue concerns generated Java models but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Java model generation templates and define the expected copy-constructor behavior; done means generated models consistently support the agreed cloning or copying approach.
