[Zope] Properties of documents

Check the Zope Manager's Guide in the chapter called 'Creating Zope
Products'.  It describes - and provides an example (yes!) of the use of
the manage_clone method.  Create a document, add the properties you
want, and then use the manage_clone method.  I think this is what you
were asking for.  I don't know as manage_clone is documented anywhere.
The following snippets creates a new DTML Document and sets property
values based on form values:
<!--#with
"manage_clone(RestDetailTemplate,REQUEST['new_id'],REQUEST)"-->
  <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(
    RestName=REQUEST['new_name'],
    RestRating=REQUEST['new_rating'],
    RestPhone=REQUEST['new_phone'],
    RestStreet=REQUEST['new_street'],
    RestCity=REQUEST['new_city'],
    RestState=REQUEST['new_state'],
    RestText=REQUEST['new_text'],
   )"-->
<!--#/with-->
