Changing the database with the clone_card function

[PatrickRoethlisberger]

I'd love to be able changing the underlying database with the clone_card function. The Use case I've got in mind is having multiple environments which all have the same question/card but different databases.

I've imagined something like this:

mb.clone_card(card_id=2, source_table_id=16, target_table_id=69, target_database_id=1 ,new_card_name='Cloned Card', new_card_collection_id=6, new_database_id=2, ignore_these_filters=[])

As far as I can tell, only the database_id as well as the dataset_query.database properties of the card have to be changed.

Hi @PatrickRoethlisberger, thanks for the feedback. I will work on this when I get some time. In the meantime please feel free to open a PR.

Hi @vvaezian I have a similar use case to the OP. Did you get a chance to work on this or is a PR still welcome?

Hi @rparrapy, not yet. Feel free to take a stab at it.

Hi @PatrickRoethlisberger and @rparrapy,

At Intellimenta we have developed DataBot, a conversational analytics app that connects with Metabase and enables users to ask questions about data and visualize the results using natural language in their preferred language.

If your company uses Metabase, DataBot can significantly enhance how your team and customers interact with data.
