clone_post out of the box

[warmweer]

There is already an idea where you posted and your opinion it was quite the same of us

Actually I agreed that it's not a "must have". But as I mentioned, I do consider it useful (for me: very useful).
The point is that since topic cloning is a default feature (which to me seems just as useful as post cloning generally speaking, but actually a lot less useful to me as using topic cloning requires many more steps to achieve the result I want/need) then why not include post cloning: IF IT IS EASY to IMPLEMENT (and that's something I can't judge).

I'm realistic about this: 1 opinion (mine) is not going to make a difference and seeing the lack of enthousiasm for the idea, I'm not even going to waste time and energy in promoting it. I'll save that to downvote really bad ideas

We have said enough and the data confirms the trend to the detriment of useless discussions. As I said, there is an IDEA and the tracker is available to anyone who "has the time and the inclination" to request a new feature. Amen.

I personally am more inclined to do facts than to argue unnecessarily. But yeah, that`s me.

b) changing the post_time to the post_time of the source post.

To be honest, I cannot think of many situations where the timestamp has to be an exact match, but I understand where you're coming from.

It's a feature I use regularly but don't consider necessary as a default feature. On the other hand, I don't consider cloning a topic important enough for it to be a default feature either

I didn't know you used it. It sounds like a useful extension, not going to lie, but I'm glad we see eye to eye that this does not need to be in the core. It does strike me as a niche function.
