Duplicate booking functionality

I regularly have customers who book identical rental packages for multiple dates over the course of a year. Each of these rentals typically have 3-4 inventory items on the invoice. It would be extremely helpful to be able to duplicate an existing booking and just pick a new date from the calendar to save the exact same list of items as a new booking. As it currently functions, I have to manually add each item to the invoice one at a time and then repeat that process for over and over for each additional event date.

  Hello all 👋 

  I'm popping in here to let you know that we have released a copy booking feature. It is currently released within Checkfront Labs which you should see under Manage > Labs from your account's main navigation. 
  
  You can read more about the release of Labs in our News & Updates thread as well. Please let us know how this feature works out for you! 

  Cheers,

  Hey Phillip Hullquist,
  
  Having a way to duplicate an existing booking would certainly be a time saver. I have refreshed the feature request that was previously submitted with some new context for our Product team to consider.
  
  With the pandemic, we noticed a need for this function was slightly elevated so that could weigh into whether or not we end up working on this but at the same time, bookings can get quite complex depending on the business so while at face value this seems simple there could definitely be some complexities for us to consider across all of our operators.
  
  Always appreciate your eye for efficiency!

  Totally support this suggestion. It would be a game changer for us as we often customise bookings for clients.

  Indeed extremely helpful, like us we have 15 to 20 items (pax) per invoice that needs to be replicated.

  Extremely useful for us as we have many customers who repeat on a regular basis.  Many of these have 25 plus itmes on a booking.  WQould be a great time saver.

  I support adding this feature.  Have clients that book the same items on a regular / recurring basis.  Would be nice to have a booking duplicate / copy feature that assigns a new Booking ID and saves the booking.  From there I can enter or subtract items and change dates using normal CF route.

  I'm begging you to implement Duplicate booking functionality!!!

  I have group bookings that have up to 11 different items and all I need to do is change the customers name & amend one or two items.

  Currently it's taking me 15-20 minutes to complete a group booking that should take 5!!!

  I fully support this. Our customers can't bear to make the order themselves, but ask us to do this because it takes so long. Making twenty identical orders for the same product when the system often hangs and fails along the way is a great test of patience.

  I just enabled and started tested the "Copy Booking" functionality. Seems to work exactly as it should. This is going to save hours of time.
