#78

Rule Management items can be copied/cloned to another rules collection.

Hi, thanks @dobestler so much for this contribution, and the use case context you provided on our call.

The main development of SMUI is also moving towards consolidation of deployment & authentication integration and their interplay. "Single preview" or "draft rule publishes" become a greater need for search managers as the topic evolves.

Though the topic IMHO is complex, and should not be underestimated. I therefore outlined a first approach, starting with the requirements: #127.

Context for this PR:

• I understand, you want to use the copy feature with a separate rules collection, to provide a solution for draft rules.
• Though, I am not sure, if (1) that'll meet the search manager's expectations, and (2) will fulfill all the listed requirements. I prefer to connect from there, and - if possible - also bring in the perspective of SMs.

The copy feature might otherwise be useful in other use case contexts, and still worth merging & maintaining. Though, as long as there is no use case to be named, and there is uncertainty around the way forward for SMUI with drafts / single publishes, I suggest to prioritize the clarification of those questions.

I think @iris-stern (who originally opened #78) and @renekrie had some more use cases in mind.

Thanks @mkr for highlighting this connection. I would like to understand this a little more in detail in #78 (comment) .
