Could we have an option to duplicate a contact?

For cases like, I already have Joe Bloggs with a full name, address, home and mobile number, and want to add Jane Bloggs with all the details the same except the first name and the mobile number. Or a similar case for business contacts. I had the option 11 years ago on my Palm Treo and took advantage of it frequently.

@pichlo currently i can't imagine why it take any advantage to have it. for my own use i'll never use it. if you could explain a little bit more. we could make us a better idea of it...

I thought the question made it quite clear. I have one family member in contacts. That contact has about 10 fields (first name, last name, home tel. number, mobile number, email, street, town, country, comment...). If I want to add his wife and kids to my contacts, I have to type all of those fields again. It would be much easier to duplicate the contact and change only the one or two fields that are different.

I do not know about your social circle but in mine this is a very common thing. If someone in family X is my friend then the whole family is.

@pichlo never need it... too complicated
how i do in this case: by each one i let me send the own contact, that's it...
or ask for a short call or sms by each one, and add the contact after it. ;-)
is it stupid?

You and I clearly have different views on what is "too complicated" :)

@pichlo lol! different culture, different thinking, different usages...that's all right! :-)
for this wish, i'm not sure that jolla could take it seriously in consideration. but it's just my opinion
if yes indeed... until they react, maybe would be good that you give yourself all chance on your side.
And ask for it to other devs of 3th part software. I think you'll have more chance on this way.
there are for sure so many people who will make it as you do...(maybe a dev too)
