Need help in this scenario, Clone a Derived Instance from a Base Object

open class Player(override val playerName: String, override val id: Int) : FantasyPlayer

data class TeamPlayer(
    override val playerName: String,
    override val id: Int,
    val teamId: Int,
    val isCaptain: Boolean = false,
    val isSelected: Boolean = false
) : Player(playerName, id)

So, I have a player object and I want to create instance of another class which is actually extended from the base
and I want to copy all the property values to this extended class, is this the correct approach or is it even possible\. For example,

val player = Player("Beckham", 1, 1)

val teamPlayer = TeamPlayer(// player, 10, true, true)

I think what you need to to is to add a 2nd constructor to TeamPlayer : see https://pl.kotl.in/rMtrAGczK

Thank you @nkiesel though from oops point of view is this the correct way?

Ok for me. Though I would rather use a normal class instead of a data class. See https://pl.kotl.in/93hdgS8Ca
