Summary

Copying a work item should have an option to copy all of the work items under it

Why should this be worked on?

When adding many similar tasks (example: a set of tasks "feat1|feat2|feat3" being worked on by a set of teams - "frontend|backend|ux"), right now adding such task sets can be a chore. There is an option to copy a work item, which would theoretically be very useful for this (make a feat1 task, create subtasks for each team, then copy it a few times), but it does not actually copy subtasks.

If this is considered generically useful I can try to take a look at implementing this! I know our team would massively benefit from this, but wanted to gauge if anyone else would 😊
