When I want to do something like that, I use my favorite editor on
products.txt and copy the field and make the appropriate changs.

I also sometimes use Jon Jensens TE to copy the field to be cloned and to
make the necessary mods,

I know from experience that IC will not tolerate 2 identical SKU-s, so be
sure to rename one SKU before you save the file.

This is a case where using the command line toold is much faster (IMHO)
