Action to copy attribute values from one work item to another

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

There are scenarios where work items are closely related to each other, because one work item is copied from another. A use case is e.g. Branch handling - duplicated defects to track implementation on different branches (backport fixes, multiple variants for different customers).

These items have attributes, which might get updated later on the master element and have to be copied to its siblings.

A possible solution could be to provide an action on the top right work item action menu (where the actions like "Create work item copy", "Create child work item" are provided). This action is called something like "copy attribute values" and has a pop up menu with the attributes, which shall be copied (same as in selecting the attributes for "Create work item copy"). In another work item I can now click "paste attribute values", which copies the attribute values from the source work item to the target work item.

    The EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request. This request, while valid, is being rejected because it is a corner case that the larger user group may not benefit from. It is recommended to use 'Create a work item copy' option which can help with similar use cases.

    EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release.
