      The list of "Miscellaneous > GSH templates" actions buttons should have a "copy to new GSH template" option.

      It should open the '.../grouper/grouperUi/app/UiV2Main.index?operation=UiV2GshTemplateConfig.addGshTemplate' UI with all of the values from the template that the copy was started from. ( Except for the Config ID value The use would need to pick a new value for that. )

      Maybe an intermediate UI page would be needed to get the user to supply the new Config ID? But I hope that would not be necessary.

      This would make it easier to "Clone" and "test a new idea, or change a few things" without needing to destroy/change the original template and all from the UI instead of exporting properties and such.

      I guess you might even make a GSH template to list existing GSH templates and prompt the user for the new Config ID and let a GSH template copy the properties from the existing template into a new template via the Grouper properties API? ( I guess that might be another way to achieve this goal. )
