Hi,
I am writing a Shopify app integration feature which intends to duplicate the 'main' published theme for a Shopify store and then based on the main previous theme, make add small adjusts to templates files for a client to preview .
I have tried the following methods to create a new theme file and managed to copy all files expect for config/settings_data.json successfully which seems to be changing when added to a newly created themes code.
Method 1) Create new theme via zip file:
POST /admin/api/2020-10/themes.json
{ "theme": { "name": "debut[new-install]", "src": "http://themes.shopify.com/mytheme.zip", "role": "unpublished" } }
config/settings_data.json content in newly created theme :
{
}
Method 2) Create new empty theme
POST /admin/api/2020-10/themes.json
{ "theme": { "name": "debut[new-install]", "role": "unpublished" } }
Then copy all assets from current active themes assets list them via:
GET /admin/api/2020-10/themes/828155753/assets.json?asset[key]=templates/index.liquid
Then PUT each asset from current theme into the new unpublished theme via :
PUT /admin/api/2020-10/themes/828155753/assets.json
{ "asset": { "key": "config/settings_data.liquid", "value": "<<content of original file>>" } }
Same results for method 3 shown at bottom of post.
Method 3) Use method 2 as above however specifically upload settings_data.json file as settings_data_new.json, then use asset endpoint duplication as below:
PUT /admin/api/2020-10/themes/828155753/assets.json
{ "asset": { "key": "config/settings_data.liquid", "source_key": "config/settings_data_new.liquid" } }
I check and can confirm that the file settings_data_new.json is an identical match to the main original theme file before making a copy.
After duplicating settings_data_new.json into a new settings_data.json file within the newly created theme, this results are incorrect settings_data.json file and missing various segments from the original file.
settings_data.json - result from method 2 & 3

Please would someone be able to advise on the correct way to achieve this?
Many Thanks

This is an accepted solution.
My solution was to copy the settings_schema.json first and the settings_data.json after copy all other assets to the new theme.
