Description

Hello,

I was going to create a second taxonomy for a CPT that was identical to another aside from it's name...

It would be really nice to have a Duplicate feature in CPTUI so you can create a new CPT or TAX from a pre-existing one to speed of your development flow.

I hope that makes sense,
Cheers

Research direction

Start by locating the existing admin UI flows for creating and editing custom post types and taxonomies in the plugin. Trace how their settings are stored and presented, then define how a duplicate becomes a new editable CPT or taxonomy with the original configuration and a distinct name. Done means both CPTs and taxonomies can be duplicated without overwriting the source.
