MATLAB: Can I create a variant that captures all current parameter, species and compartment values

SimBiologyvariants

So I'd like to be able to do something like this:
sbr = sbioroot;             % Get the root object
lastn = length(sbr.models); % Get index of the last model object (presumably the one I'm using)
ml = sbr.models(lastn);     % Get a handle for the model in use;
varobj = sbiovariant('Current');    % add a variant to that model
varobj = addcontent(varobj,allcurrentcontent(m1));
or perhaps instead of "all current content" I could use more granular commands, as in the desktop. In interactive mode, I can "add all species", "add all compartments" and "add all parameters" to a variant.
So perhaps
varobj = addcontent(varobj,m1.species); 
varobj = addcontent(varobj,m1.parameters); 
varobj = addcontent(varobj,m1.compartments);
Ideally, the sbiovariant command would allow a flag. All, Species, Compartments, and Parameters. So
varobj = sbiovariant('Current','All');    % adds a variant containing all numbers to the current model
Or is there already something like this that I'm missing?
Thanks!

You're not overlooking anything. We just need to make variants easier to use. Right now, I would probably do this by making a helper function with a "for loop" to add each item to the variant.
Also, one note. There are two ways to make a variant in SimBiology. When you call "sbiovariant" you are making a "standalone" variant. You can also call "addvariant" to create a variant that is stored on your model. One reason to make a standalone variant is if you want to use it with multiple related models.
