cloneContentType.py

'''
Do you need to clone a content type? E.g. change the uid? Or create a new one to make changes to it and then put it live?

This script clones a content type and all its entries.

LIMITATION: The newest version of the entries is only cloned. 
LIMITATION: This does not set the workflow stage or publish the cloned entry - This script could be extended to do that

WARNING: Make sure you're not overwriting anything valuable!

Read comments below to better understand.
