Please bring back "Right Click > Clone" functionality within Databricks Repos!

After this was removed, the best way to replicate this functionality was to:

  1. Export the file in .dbc format
  2. Import the .dbc file back in. New file has a suffix of " (1)"

As of an update on 2022-02-03, the best way to replicate this initial functionality is to:

  1. Export the file in .dbc format
  2. Rename the file of interest. If you attempt to import back in, you will experience an error due to same file name.
  3. Import the downloaded .dbc file

Over time the process of cloning a file has become more complex. As this is fairly simple feature, I would appreciate it if you brought back the initial clone functionality.
