Sorry if this post is in the wrong place, but this one seemed to be the least inappropriate topic for my post.
Unlike 99.9% of the threads matching the keywords "contact" and "duplicate", who apparently want to get RID of their duplicate contacts (RTFM, guys), I would like to basically do the opposite: that is, to create a new contact by duplicating an existing one.
Frequently, I must create a new contact entry that is MOSTLY IDENTICAL to an existing one, with maybe just the name and phone number different (i.e., members of a family or employees of a company).
On my old Palm device, I could simply duplicate a Contact entry then replace the fields that differed with new values.
I really don't care where if it must happen: either in GMail on a full-fledged browser/computer, or on my Android-based device (Moto Droid, BTW), since they have become largely interchangeable, but at the moment, it is impossible either way.
Google, are you listening? How hard could this be?
