Data Reflection

I have a situation where i have an called job which is an instance of the class JobHistory. I need to pass a job object to a method called BuildNewJobFromExistingJob(). In the method, I need to create a new job object. Then i need to copy all the data from the old object to the new object. Finally i need to change a few of the fields in the object.

I am thinking of the following as a solution.

var job = Repository.CreateJobHistory()

then i want to loop through all the fields of the old object to the new object. I don't want to hard code the copying of the data as fields may be added in the future.

How do i loop through all the fields in and object copying the data from one to a new object of the same type?

so this is what i have so far then

           var query = _manager.JobHistories
                .Where(j => j.RefNo == refNo);
           var oldJob = query.Execute().FirstOrDefault();
 
           var newJob = _manager.CreateEntity<JobHistory>();
 
           var entityMetadata = _manager.MetadataStore.GetEntityMetadata(typeof(JobHistory));
 
            foreach (var dataProperty in entityMetadata.DataProperties)
            {
                
            }

so now i need to copy the property values from oldJob to newJob
