Add feature to create Event based on previous Event (Copy)

Provide a way to copy or have a save as function to an event. Every time we make an event that we had last year, we have to totally remake it instead of just copying and making changes.

      Awful that this isnt available. The platform is pretty complicate in terms of all the details one has to complete and edit to get a good event. To do this work everytime again and again for routine events is awful.

      I can't believe this is not already available in NXT. Most events are repeat events each year. FIVE YEARS later and its STILL not an option. Every year we have to create a new event, build new forms, and new sponsor and registration labels even though they are the same. Any ETA when this will be ready???

      This should absolutely be a thing. With complicated events, this makes our work much simpler!

      Has this feature been made available yet?

      In Webview it would be helpful to be able to copy events so that webforms and confirmation emails didn't have to be recreated manually for recurring events.

      This would be an amazing feature, we have a reoccurring speaker series every school year and it would be great to be able to set them up as a series in RE!

      Yes, please!!! Not only copy the event year over year, but also copy a registration form from one event to another please (we have Fun Run events at three campuses). Thank you!

      HUGELY disappointing you eliminated such an important function. It seems unnecessary duplication of effort for organizations that host annual events year over year. Please fast track your fix.

      This is so desperately needed in webview so that our event registration forms are consistent within our org. With each being created from scratch, funds for donations/fees, etc., get missed

      PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this happen! Such a basic option that one would think would be integrated into the event module already.

      Please do this - the events feature is unbearable.

      Being able to copy event registration needs to be an option. Having to recreate the same event registration year after year when they are the exact same event, except for date changes is very time consuming when it could all be done with a copy option.

      Will forever not understand why Blackbaud doesn't already have basic features. Please make this a thing already. This shouldn't take over 2 years to implement. It's obviously a good idea, as much of my time is wasted making the exact same form for different events.

      Yes! We need the same ability to copy event forms as there is for donation forms in NXT. For reoccurring events, to start from scratch each time is wasteful.

      If this becomes a possibility, I would also like to see the event confirmation email be copied over as well. We use a standard template for every event confirmation and are currently having to recreate the template for every event. Would be way easier to upload a saved template and change the email text.

      It would be a huge addition if the copy ability included the copy of constituents as well,  so the management of large,  already edited,  lists is not so time consuming in the creation of new events.
