Copied Team Profile Does not copy all properties

If I copy an active team profile all the connections and filters are duplicated properly but the property sets are not. Its these property sets that is where the user actions, compile commands, etc. reside.

It is very cumbersome to manually copy those commands from one profile to another.


Use Case:

I use different team profiles to make connections to the IBM i with different parameters, since duplicating a connections into the same profile causes other problems with a 3rd party tool.
