It will be very convenient if we have ability to create duplicate devices.

Purpose: We have few racks filled with the same type of server equipment. At this moment I have to add all servers one by one with the same fields (except unit assign) and it's bit annoying.

Implementation: It could be done in two ways.

  1. Duplication button on device level.
    [Edit this device] [Duplicate] [Delete this device]
  2. Using numeric ranges on adding stage.
    Add device => Name: Server[1-10]

The first proposal would fall under #33. The second I don't think we want to implement natively, and would be better achieved via the API.
