Copy saved objects between spaces
**Behaviour flags:**
`--dry-run` — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

## Options

<definitions>
  <definition term="--objects string[] required">
    **Repeatable:** pass `--objects` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--spaces string[] required">
    **Repeatable:** pass `--spaces` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--compatibility-mode">
    Apply various adjustments to the saved objects that are being copied to maintain compatibility between different Kibana versions. Use this option only if you encounter issues with copied saved objects. This option cannot be used with the `createNewCopies` option.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--create-new-copies">
    Create new copies of saved objects, regenerate each object identifier, and reset the origin. When used, potential conflict errors are avoided. This option cannot be used with the `overwrite` and `compatibilityMode` options.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--include-references">
    When set to true, all saved objects related to the specified saved objects will also be copied into the target spaces.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--overwrite">
    When set to true, all conflicts are automatically overridden. When a saved object with a matching type and identifier exists in the target space, that version is replaced with the version from the source space. This option cannot be used with the `createNewCopies` option.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--input-file string">
    path to a JSON file to use as command input
  </definition>
  <definition term="--dry-run">
    validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)
  </definition>
  <definition term="--no-validate">
    skip input validation and send the request as-is
  </definition>
</definitions>


## Global Options
