[Feature Request] Add "Duplicate / Copy View" button for Graphical Views

When creating multiple graphical screens (Views) that share the same visual structure or layout (e.g., identical control panels, room monitoring screens, or similar equipment), recreating the entire View from scratch in the UI is very time-consuming.

We acknowledge that it is currently possible to achieve this duplication via JSON export and import. However, that process requires external manual steps (exporting the file, modifying parameters/IDs, and re-importing), making it repetitive and prone to errors when managing dozens of screens.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a dedicated "Duplicate View" (or "Copy View") button directly in the Graphical Views management list or within the View editor screen.

Clicking this button should automate and simplify the process that is currently done manually via JSON:

1. Automatically clone the selected View along with all its visual components, positions, custom HTML/CSS, and background settings.
2. Create the new View with a default name (e.g., [Copy] Original_View_Name) or prompt the user for a new name.
3. Preserve all visual elements in place, allowing the user to simply rebind the components to the corresponding new Data Points.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Manual JSON Export/Import: While functional, it requires file/code manipulation outside the standard UI and extra steps that could easily be handled with a single click.
• Recreating the interface from scratch: Adding element by element manually, which is unviable for large-scale projects.

Additional context / Use Case

Example Workflow:

1. An engineer designs a complete View for a room or equipment panel containing 20+ visual components (buttons, indicators, charts, labels).
2. To apply the same layout across 5 identical rooms, they simply click Duplicate View 5 times directly within the UI.
3. The engineer then opens each copy and rebinds the components to the respective room's Data Points.

Benefits:

• Eliminates the need to manipulate JSON files for simple duplication tasks.
• Drastically accelerates commissioning and bulk screen creation.
• Ensures visual standardization across the entire SCADA system quickly and intuitively.
