Clone an import semantic model with all data and rename clone.
For the deployment pipeline approach you can find a step by step guide here:
Get started using deployment pipelines, the Fabric Application lifecycle management (ALM) tool - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.If you also want to automate this, check out the possibilities of Fabric CI/CD (fabric-cicd). But for this I dont know any step by step guide.
Community SupportHi EdvanceIQ_Chris ,
I wanted to check if you had the opportunity to review the information provided and resolve the issue..?Please let us know if you need any further assistance.We are happy to help.
Thank you.
I have reviewed but none have actually give me any way forward. I really am after code examples or components that show how to do this. I have tried many attempts but have been blocked by read only functionality when trying to clone the import model with data. And I do not want to have to export and reimport. There must be a way to clone an import model with data and save it to a different name easily, but need examples. Thanks

If you are after code, then of course my and the answer from Kedar_Pande do not fit as they are low-code/no-code 😂
Why are you sticking with code?
Another important thing for the approach is to know if you cloned semantic model shall run indepentend after the "clone" process or still have a connection to the original?Well, does not have to be code, but step by step instructions. I need to automate the cloning of the datasets so if I can do that with powerAutomate, or a pipeline or something else, then great, but just looking for specific examples. I assumed that running a Notebook and doing it through pyspark would be the only option as not a lot appears to be easy in Fabric, but happy so see examples to the contrary.
