Sharepoint 2013 discussions list has a view named "Flat",but it is uneditable. I have to add aditional fields in the list and display those fields in Flat view. I tried creating another view of Flat view type but that view also not displaying the fields that I marked.

So is there is a way to clone this view as editable?? I tried cloning that view but the view that is getting created also cannot be edited. Is is the code I used to clone the view

SPSite site = new SPSite("url");
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList List = web.Lists["Discussions List"];
SPView thisView = List.Views["Flat"];
thisView = thisView.Clone("Testing", 100, true, false);
thisView.Update();

Please give me your feedbacks

Thank You

@Viraj Gorajia above code is working. Problem is im cloning a view that cannot be edited so the view getting created also uneditable. Is there is a way to clone this uneditable view as a editable view?? – Justin Roy Jan 22 at 10:36
I tried your code. It is working. but i am not able to see another view like flat view, testing vie. Because Subject view is top level view. When open another view, it redirect to subject view(AllItems.aspx). – Viraj Gorajia Jan 22 at 11:06

@Viraj Gorajia yeah you are right, to view the Flat view you first go to Manage discussions and click a discussion that you created so it'll display all the replies of that specific discussion in Management view there you can change the view to Flat view. – Justin Roy Jan 22 at 11:21
Thanx @Justin Roy, Your problem is that you have no seen field which is added in flat view? – Viraj Gorajia Jan 22 at 11:35
