Implementing IPluginPersonClone

FogBugz Plugin Interfaces > FogBugs Users > IPluginPersonClone

Introduction

This article will demonstrate a simple FogBugz plugin that implements the IPluginPersonClone interface contained in the FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Interfaces class library.

Functionality

This plugin builds upon the Implementing IPluginPersonJoin, IPluginPersonDisplay, IPluginPersonCommit example, which  added an "awesomeness" field to the person object.
