Is there an easy way to duplicate a row (pen) in the easy chart component? Many of my rows are the same minus one number and the color.

For instance, I have the pens

```python
Pump 1/Speed | [tagHistory:ignition-desktop-av9al01:default]pumps/pump1/speed
Pump 2/Speed | [tagHistory:ignition-desktop-av9al01:default]pumps/pump2/speed
Pump 3/Speed | [tagHistory:ignition-desktop-av9al01:default]pumps/pump3/speed
Pump 4/Speed | [tagHistory:ignition-desktop-av9al01:default]pumps/pump4/speed
Pump 5/Speed | [tagHistory:ignition-desktop-av9al01:default]pumps/pump5/speed
Pump 6/Speed | [tagHistory:ignition-desktop-av9al01:default]pumps/pump6/speed

```

Open the pens or tagPens datasets, and copy to the clipboard. Fix up in your favorite text editor. Paste the corrections back.

Not very fun to look at in a text editor, but I guess that would work. I didn't know copying the dataset would give me a csv, so that's good to know.

In the headers of the dataset copied to the clipboard, there is one line that designates the number of rows. Make sure if you're adding/deleting rows that you update that number too. I've gotten caught a couple of times forgetting to update it.
