We’re using Discourse automation for icebreakers, and other similar daily prompts that are posted as replies to specific topics.

A duplicate feature would be helpful since a number of the fields are the same or similar across all:

- name
- script: create a post
- trigger: point in time
- Topic ID

We can’t use the recurring feature because they’re different replies each time, and they could be posted by different people.
