Description

As a user I would like to duplicate an entry so that I don't have to manually add the same information to several identical or similar entries.

Impact

As long as there are no recurring dates (see FR https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/3437), I would be able to simply copy and paste the appointments as a workaround which would make it way easiert to add them to e.g. a full month instead of having to add every single entry (and especially all information!) manually.

It would also make it way easier to add several similar entries to just one day.

Being able to copy-paste something seems like basic stuff at this point of the internet so not being able to do that for the calendar-entries just feels very restricting in terms of UX and makes it difficult to work with it properly.

Additional Context

UX/UI suggestion:

I can image a button here, that will duplicate the entry and add it to the same day. Afterwards I could drag the entry to the next week (or day or whenever the event would recur)

I would consider moving the deletion-button though so the user does not accidentally click it when trying to duplicate. I would also suggest a "Do you really want to delete?" safety-popup, but that's another topic)
