WTH can't I copy and paste actions in an automation

I often want to copy an action in an automation to create another action in that same automation. Usually this is when I am using a Choose action and the actions within the Choose only vary a little.

I wish there was an option on the action’s overflow menu called Copy that would store the underlying yaml. Then, when adding an action, I wish there was an item on the actions list called Paste.

I know I can just edit the entire automation in yaml but I think this would be useful.

It would be nice for a copy, or a copy dialog where you could enter a number of times you want to copy it.
