User-friendly feature needed: GUI-based preexisting setup/config clone to create new

AS-IS: each new custom setup (incl. observer job config, policy, etc.) we have to manual enter all para one by one.


Desired TO-BE:

=================

Target use case (NOT limit to, but same principle cross over):


#1. Define > Integration (Incl. Observer job) > preexisting: Integration_1, ObserverJob_1... > Now we intend to mass create NEW Integration_[2-N], ObserverJob_[2-N], the definition parameters have heavy portion to be same as Integration_1 one. In order to quick create multi-new as well as minimize human manual input errors, we hope we could simply CLONE preexisting one then revise upon to save as new.


#2. Similar use case could apply to custom policy etc, clone and revise. Ideally whole IBMAIOps product support this clone feature globally via GUI (super user-friendly feature)


As of now, this feature is NOT feasible in v4.6.1 and v4.7

=================


Business Impact:

This feature is critical for user experience, especially under mass initiation scenario.


Note: please also cross-reference with IBM case T# listed in "Additional details".
