Duplicate existing tool entry to add new instance
Today: When an admin adds a tool from Search tools, adding another instance of the same SaaS application requires repeating the setup manually. This becomes repetitive when an organization tracks separate instances of a product, or many Excel- and SharePoint-based tools, with different names, owners, URLs, or business units.
Desired: Let admins create another instance from an existing tool entry or search result, using the existing tool details as a starting point. Admins should be able to edit instance-specific fields, including name, owner, URL, and business unit, before saving each instance as a separate tool record.
Business Justification: Enterprise organizations often manage multiple deployments or workspaces for the same application, while smaller organizations may track many spreadsheet- and SharePoint-based tools. Reusing the existing tool details would reduce repetitive data entry, make catalog setup faster, and help admins maintain consistent records without losing the distinctions between instances.
Acceptance Criteria
An admin can start a new tool instance from an existing tool entry or its search result.
Relevant tool details are prefilled, and the admin can edit name, owner, URL, and business unit before saving.
Saving creates a separate tool record and does not overwrite or modify the source entry.
The new instance appears in the Tools section and can be managed independently.
