Allow copying UI created labels

[dcfidalgo]

When i create new labels in the UI, and do not annotate anything with these new labels, these new labels will not be copied when doing a rubrix.load&rubrix.log.

It would be nice to be able to completely copy a data set and its "state".

This use cases could be better solved by a rubrix.copy method. Load/log is a workaround emulation this behaviour but nothing about what original dataset metadata contains (including labels/entities)

Yes, a rb.copy method would definitely be nice, but in my case i think i slightly modified the metadata after the rb.load step, and uploaded it again. So a rb.copy that really just copies the dataset and logs it with a new name, would not have solved my specific use case.

rb.copy("orig_ds", "dest_ds", tags={"override": "orig tags"})

Would this copy method modification achieve a more general copy flow?

With tags you are referring to the tags of a dataset?

With metadata, I was referring to the metadata of the records, but I cannot recall if the change included some logic or if it was simply a replacement of values. Anyhow, I think this new copy method would definitely be useful.
