Quick Issue Creation via Cloning

It would be really helpful if you could create a new task that by default inherits the base information of another task and is linked to that original task. An example of this is you find a issue which exists in multiple projects. The issue needs to be checked / verified in all the projects separately. If the person who entered the issue could create a branhc or linked copy of the issue in the other projects, then each cound be verified indilidually, and the link would still give the staff a heads up to the issue being interrelated to a issue in the other project.
