CopyObjectOptions (IBM OpenPages with Watson API Javadoc)

java.lang.Object
- com.ibm.openpages.api.application.CopyObjectOptions

```
public class CopyObjectOptions
extends java.lang.Object
```
Allows you to configure options in IApplicationService.copyToParent(com.ibm.openpages.api.metadata.Id, List, CopyObjectOptions) operations. You can specify whether to include children in the copy and specify an explicit list of child Object Types to be copied. You can also define the actions to take when a naming conflict occurs as a result of the copy.

When the includeChildren flag is set to true (default), then the ChildrenTypeToCopy list will determine which Object Types are copied. The default is that all types will be copied.

When the autoNameChildren flag is set to true, based on their Auto-Named/Copied Object OpenPages registry value the children associated with the object being copied are auto named. The default is false.

When the inclAssociationForReturnObjs flag is set to NONE (default), no associations (Child and Parent) will be included on the returned GRCObjects.

Constructor and Description
`CopyObjectOptions()` Creates the CopyObjectOptions with default settings: includeChildren = true - The children types are not explicitly defined and all primary children are copied. - If conflicts exist, it will use Copy Of prefix behavior to rename the copies.

  - CopyObjectOptions
```
public CopyObjectOptions()
```
    Creates the CopyObjectOptions with default settings: includeChildren = true
    - The children types are not explicitly defined and all primary children are copied.

    Gets the children Object Types to be copied.
    
    Returns:
    
    the inclusive list of Object Types to include in the copyToParent operation
  - setChildrenTypesToCopy
```
public void setChildrenTypesToCopy(java.util.List<ITypeDefinition> childrenTypesToCopy)
```
    Explicit list of Object Types to include in the copyToParent operation, if isIncludeChildren is true. If specified, only the primary children whose type matches those in the specified list will be copied to the target parent location. An empty list means all types are copied.
    
    If this is not specified, then it is assumed that all primary children will be copied.
    
    It is not required to add the object type for the object being copied.
    
    Parameters:
    
    childrenTypesToCopy - (required) the complete list to set. If the list is empty, then all types will be copied. Copy will default to all.
  - isIncludeChildren
```
public boolean isIncludeChildren()
```
    Specifies if the copy operation includes children associated with the object being copied. If true (default), then the list of types specified will be used to determine which children are included. If false, then children are not copied.

    the includeChildren objects
  - setIncludeChildren
```
public void setIncludeChildren(boolean includeChildren)
```
    Sets whether the copy operation will include children associated with the object being copied. If true (default), then the list of types specified will be used to determine which children are included. If false, then children are not copied.
