How do I clone a project correctly

[DocAlex]

Hello,

I am using STM 32 cube IDE Version: 1.18.0 Build: 24413_20250227_1633 (UTC).

I tried to clone a project by right click the project in the project explorer then copy and then paste.

It appearently worked, but I ran into a lot of trouble:

- selecting the second project the compiler compiled the first one.

- in the debug configuration the first project was selected although in the project explorer the second one was selected.

- I run into an error: Invalid Input: Must be project's active .ioc file. Project's 'TST_SI7021' active one is 'TST_SI7021.ioc' file

I deleted the whole stuff. What is remaining is the question "How do I clone a project so that it is really independent of its father project and can be independently used?"

As a suggestion: A menue item: "clone project" would be helpful.

Regards

Alexander

Here's the list of files that need edited for a dual-core project. A single core project will have fewer, but they follow the same trend. They can all be edited with a text editor.
