Should I use a separate content type? In drupal 6 I have a content type with a lot of fields, voting, referenced nodes (as answers), etc. Now I would like to create a very similar content type - same behaviour and everything, there are only 2-3 fields that are different, but everything else is the same. Now comes the question: Should I create a separate content type, setup everything, use separate voting, etc? Or is there a way to somehow 'inherit' everything and change only 2-3 fields that need to be changed?
If you are going to do this often, or expect changes that require these two types to be in sync in the future, you might investigate the http://drupal.org/project/features module, which packages stuff up like this.  But, if it's a one off thing, I'd just go and create a new content type and reuse the existing fields plus the new/different ones in the second content type.  If you don't want to type everything in again, you should be able to use the CCK export feature and then just change the name and type of the result and import it, which if all goes well, will create the second type for you identically to the first.  Then just add the new/different fields manually.
