Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a specific module?
Is there an existing issue for this?
Describe the feature
Its common for me to be working with or setting up a reasonable number of companion connections to devices of the same type, where most of the config is identical between units (ie only the IP and Label differ). It would speed things up if an existing connection could be duplicated, and it would appear as a new connection instance with the same config and a new label - similar to the duplicate action button.
I would expect the newly created connection would not inherit any actions or feedbacks from the reference connection, as that would complicate things greatly.
A duplicate connection would appear immediately beneath the reference connection in the connection list (ie in the same collection if in one).
Perhaps the same icon from the duplicate action function could appear here:
Usecases
Setting up large configs with many instances of the same connection type with mostly shared config details.
