gameObject.AddComponent(presetComponent) ?? I would like to add a component thats already created.

Lets say we have a Component called "Traits" that has some perimeters.

 public class Traits : Monobehaviour {
     public string traitName = "someone";
     public float height = 6.2;
     public float weight = 236;
     public Color hairColor = Color.black;
 }

Now what I would like to do is create a few of these and then add them to a game object later. To create them lets say I do something like this.

 public List<Traits> traitsList = new List<Traits>();
 for(int i = 0; i < 10; i ++){
      Traits newTrait = new Traits();
      newTrait.traitName = "Bob";
      newTrait.hairColor = Color.blue;
      newTrait.weight = 400;
      newTrait.height = 5.2;
 }

Now I would like to add them to a game object but I am doing it wrong somewhere.

 someNewGameobject.AddComponent<Traits>(savedTrait[i]);

Not a thing, and neither is

 someNewGameObject.getComponent<Traits>() = savedTraits[i];

Em I just approaching this wrong? I would like not to do something like.

 Traits newTrait = gameObject.AddComponent<Traits>();
 // And then have to assign all the elements on its own, that would suck if the properties are a long list.
 newTrait.traitName = savedTraits[i].traitName;
 newTrait.weight = savedTraits[i].weight;
 newTrait.height = savedTraits[i].height;
 // and so on. 

I may just have to rethink this hole spiel but it seams like there should be a way.

Thanks for checking it out.

Anxo.
