In the field well I would find it very useful to be able to right click over an existing measure and copy/duplicate measure in order to quickly create a modified version of the original measure.

This idea is really useful. The creation of measures based on others would be faster.

Yes please. Measure editing and model development in Power BI is dreadful & slow and inconsistent.

If you want to see how it's done properly go and have a look at https://github.com/otykier/TabularEditor

I literally waste so much time in Power BI development copy and pasting DAX measures from power bi to note pad and back again. This would save me a ton of time on Power BI development!

Yes, this would be great.

Please add this to a newer version. As you know ( you are developers). Ctrl C and Ctrl V are like a hammer and nails in our profession. The ability to recreate an entire measures table and then change the table name (pointer) in your calculations would be fantastic.

This idea is really useful and important for instant development of Power BI.
Like me, I have to manually copy and edit all 30 measures in one table; and the same for the second report.
