Button for cloning Work Allocations

Creation of Work Allocation is fully manual process. Creation of duplicate Work Allocation is even more cumbersome, because user has to first record what data are used in the existing WA (PortfolioEpic, Product, other custom fields). Most of the managers' complaints are exactly against this - when they have to restructure existing Work Allocations for their teams (usually more than one WA) they have to painstakingly create WA after WA and that not only takes huge amount of time but also is very prone to errors.

We're asking to create a special function that would exist within existing work allocation and if invoked, it would duplicate / clone (create new) work allocation from which it was invoked and set the start date of the new WA based on the date that user will input in a dialog box.

Similarly with the (very useful) Bulk Edit function, an user should be able to select multiple work allocations (spanning multiple users and products) and be able to clone them in one go, replicating all fields, except for new Planned Start Dates and Planned End Dates.
