<div id="launchmodal2"><BR><BR>
Steps:<BR>
1. User click "Clone" to clone modal<BR>
2. Javascript clones modal and renames appropriate tags to "Clone" (button and modal tags)<BR>
3. User clicks the cloned modal --> "Launch demo modal 2" (does not seem to load despite all HTML being right)
</div>

JavaScript

$(document).on("click", "#clicktoclone", function() {
	var secondmodal = $("#launchmodal1").clone();
  
  // updating button id and data-target for modal 2
  secondmodal.find("#examplemodalbutton1").attr("id", "examplemodalbutton2").attr("data-target", "exampleModal2").html("Launch demo modal 2");
  
  // updating modal id for modal 2
  secondmodal.find("#exampleModal1").attr("id", "examplemodal2");
  
  secondmodal.appendTo('#launchmodal2');
});
