Copy Entity between Schemas preserving metadata

I am authoring an IJC entity to use as a company wide template for data transcription.  I'd like to be able to copy this entity into other IJC schemas (generally on the same host machine).  There doesn't seem to be a good way to do this without loosing all the metadata around the entity/template.  

In order for this to be useful I want to generate fields with limited/specified sets of entries (enums) and have control over the data types of all the fields; this is the information that gets lots with the export/copy facilities that I see available so far (e.g. export to SDF/MRV and import into the desired IJC schema).

Is there a way to do this? 

Well, this could be tricky. You may use our Test2Production tool:

But I doubt this is a good way to create a template (I suppose empty) entity.

Maybe better to create it by a Groovy script which can be then run separately in each schema. Please see our Groovy script and scriptlets examples at http://www.chemaxon.com/instantjchem/ijc_latest/docs/developer/index.html#scripts

Hope it helps...

Thanks, this seems like it'll give me an excuse to learn some Groovy scripting.
