Can you copy a paste a feature?

I have a rotation and I want to add a second one with all the same values as the first. On other systems I would copy and paste and then  edit the new value. Is this possible in OnShape?

    @TimRice, is this planned at all? Unfortunately, using a pattern gives you an exact copy of the feature. The issue arises when you are repeating features with near exact parameters, i.e. you want to keep most of the setting the same as the last feature, but change a query/direction/value/formula/part studio reference/etc.

    Duplicating features in the feature list would be a much appreciated update to onshape.
