make possible to copy rules in smartforms designer

when implementing complex logic in rule, it would be very helpful to copy an existing rule into a new rule and change it after

    Disorganized:Poor organizational structure results in all rules being piled together. Sometimes, to implement a single business logic, the logic must be scattered across multiple rules. For example, when processing listing data, or when using if-else statements (when a confirmation is used with an if-else statement, selecting the negative option triggers the else branch—an unexpected outcome. This forces the if-else logic to be split into a separate rule).

    Black Box:Even with good descriptions, it is difficult to fully understand what the rules are actually doing. It requires repeatedly opening and closing each rule to view their content, making modification and maintenance challenging. (Imagine having a dense web of numerous rules. Moreover, as the number of rules increases, system responsiveness slows down).

    Non-Replicable Rules:During development, similar business logic is inevitable, and the common practice is to copy and then adjust existing rules. However, K2 surprisingly does not support this! Imagine having many similar scenarios, each requiring the setup of dozens of similar rules again from scratch!
