# After Entity Cloning

Starts a workflow after an entity is cloned through the generic clone service.

## Event Context

The event provides `Entity`, `EntityType`, `SourceEntity`, `OperationContext`, `CloneResult` to tasks in its branch. Select these values in the value editor when configuring child tasks.

??? example "After Entity Cloning"

    Inspect each clone returned by the generic clone service, then explicitly save any initialization changes.

## Behavior

The handler runs inside the operation's transaction. An error in the handler can cancel or roll back the operation. An After event runs after the operation boundary, while the transaction is still active.
