Don’t know if it goes here, but I would suggest an option to copy & paste widgets from one dashboard to another (or even within the same dashboard).  
I’m on iPad, iPhone etc, and having to create the same widget multiple times is cumbersome.

Just a suggestion.

How would the interaction work for such a feature? The copy is easy. The pasting of the widget is what I am curious about.

I really miss this function too in dashboards. I think this would work fine:

- “Duplicate” widget function
- “Copy” widget function
- “Paste” widget function (which also works if you open another dashboard in stead of the one you copied a widget from).

I think the “Paste” function can be added to the + icon at the bottom of the columns.
