You can get all settings in the clientssl profile (individual settings as well as those iherited from the parent) by running 

"tmsh list ltm profile client-ssl  all-properties"
. With those settings, you can recreate them with all their current settings (omitting the defaults-from option and chosing a new name for it) without changing any setting.

In a last step, all "old" profiles can be deleted, the old parent being the last one.
