When using a data class, you get a copy method out of the box. This method allows you to create a new instance of your type, while cherry-picking the fields you want to change. For example, you may decide that you want to get a new BlogEntry instance from an existing instance for which you just want to change the title and description fields:
blogEntry.copy(title = "Properties in Kotlin", description = "Properties are awesome in Kotlin")
If you are familiar with Java, you will notice a similarity with the clone method. However, the copy method is more powerful; it allows you to change any of the fields in your new copied instance.
If you look at the parameter information of the copy method (Ctrl+ P is the default keyboard shortcut), you should see the following:

In the screenshot, you can see that each field is contained...
