I have 50 products that all have 2012 in their name. I want to copy them to create new items which have 2013 names (ie: Each will thus be a duplicate of the 2012 just with a new ProductID number but still have a 2012 name). Is there any way to do a mass duplicate or must I select each and hit the c icon?

Since all of the 2012 products are disabled I can then dump that one table and edit the product records (changing the 2012 to 2013 in the cloned records) in the .sql dump file, set the site to maintenance mode, upload the table, and go out of maintenance mode (the cart being down for under a minute).

If there is no mass copy method, I guess I am reduced to doing the duplication one product at a time or creating them by cloning the commands in the .sql file (there seems to be only 2 tables involved and the product IDs is an auto-increment so altering that field to 0 will increment it). This update would be done to a temp database that I create to allow the update of the two tables followed by another dump.

Thanks for any suggestions.
