copy event

Sometimes it would be very helpful if you could copy an appointment, as only small things change.
So far I miss the function to copy an entry. Is this planned for the future?

        } else {

        }

        // Render the copy view with the appropriate parameters
        $copyUrl = Url::toEditEntry($newEntry, null, $this->contentContainer, null);
        return $this->renderAjax('copy', [
            'calendarEntry' => $newEntry,

            'copyUrl' => $copyUrl,
        ]);

}

Button Example

<?= Button::primary(Yii::t('CalendarModule.base', 'Copy'))->action('ui.modal.load', $copyUrl, "[data-content-key=" . $calendarEntry->content->id . "]") ?>
