## Description

**As** an OpenProject admininistrator  
**I want** an easier interface to copy workflows from one role to another  
**so that** I get less confused by the existing interface.

**Acceptance criteria**

*   There is a dialog to copy the workflow from the type show page, and the index action menu
    
    *   Title: "Copy workflow"
        
    *   Users can switch between
        
        *   1: "Copy to another type": Copy workflow from one type to one or more type(s) using an autcompleter
            
        *   2: "Copy to other roles" Copy workflow from one role to one or more role(s) using an autocompleter
            
    *   Depending on the selection, either target roles, or target types are shown to copy the workflow to
        
    *   A source role is shown when "copy to another role" is selected. This is preselected with the current open role, if you are editing the workflow
        
*   When there are unsaved changes to the workflows table, a confirmation dialog is shown before the "Copy workflow" dialog is opened
