I use several example files that already have the correct tag layout that I want to be able to use as a template by duplicating them. I can currently duplicate files but not their tags. Only a time date time tag is generated but not others. Please provide the option to duplicate the existing tags as well.  
I also assume that the ID in the json file would have to still be unique for indexing. Thanks
