file attachments and descriptions should persist across a copy from source to new bulk email
Overview
Please describe your improvement in detail.
As a user configuring a CiviMail 'bulk email', when I copy a previous email to create a new email, I want the attachments associated with the previous email to be attached by default to the new email; perhaps with a modal asking me for confirmation that that remains my intention.
Example use-case
when I use the copy action for a previously delivered bulk email, at this url: /civicrm/mailing/browse/scheduled?reset=1&scheduled=true
or a previously configured bulk email pending delivery at this url: /civicrm/mailing/browse/unscheduled?reset=1&scheduled=false
It takes an email configured at this url: /civicrm/mailing/send?mid=${delivered_or_configured_email_id}&reset=1
using it to create a copy at this url: /civicrm/mailing/send?mid=${new_email_id}&reset=1
but fails to copy the attachments which may have been configured as a part of the previously delivered or configured email.
Current behaviour
What is currently possible? What limit ?
Currently I have to re-upload and re-describe each attachment on the copies.
Proposed behaviour
What should happen? How is this better? If appropriate/available, include any wireframes or mockups.
The file and its description should be copied from the source onto the new bulk email without further human intervention, save possibly confirmation of my intent to persist the attachment by answering a modal prompt.
I often create multiple mailings from the same content so that I get to watch the metrics on each mailing recipient group, isolated from the rest of the mailing.
