I often have a need to create a new PPO item (issue, decision, risk, task, etc.) that is virtually identical to an existing item but to do so, I have to create a new item and cut and paste from the existing item.
For example, I want several people to review the same document so I will create an issue for each person to review the document by a certain deadline. One way could be to raise one issue, assign to the first reviewer and have them assign the issue to the next reviewer, and so on, but that is clumsy and does not support the way we work. We use SharePoint so multiple people can review the same document simultaneously.
I think this is a simple matter of another icon, perhaps labelled 'Copy', to go with the existing Add, Edit, Delete icons and it behaves like the 'Add' icon except it pre-populates the new item with content of fields from the current item. If you wanted to get really fancy, you could allow users to configure which fields are copied (an enhancement to the Administration -> Data Fields function), subject to restrictions which prevent copy of primary key fields and other fields which are not sensible to copy.
