Copy issues within the same project (aka cloning)

[frekel]

I am looking for a method to copy my issues within the same project:

from:
  url: https://gitlab.com
  token: my-very-secret-token
  project: my-team/my-project
  issues:
  - 1156
to:
  url: https://gitlab.com
  token: my-very-secret-token
  project: my-team/my-project

unfortunately this gives me an error: target: issue 1156 already exists, skipping...

Is this feature possible and do you have time to add this?
