In the field well I would find it very useful to be able to right click over an existing measure and copy/duplicate measure in order to quickly create a modified version of the original measure.

RE: Copy / Duplicate a measures from the field well

An example for me where this is helpful. I have a master table with 20 measures that aggregates 30 different tables. I then filter which table sources to display based on the user view (i.e. One director only wants to see the 20 measures calculated from 7 of the 30 tables, while another one wants to see 10 of the 30 tables, etc.). However, my performance is taking a major hit. To address this I now need to create a separate master table for each director, instead of one master table, and replicate the 20 measures for each director, which will be a huge pain, but I need to do it as it reduces my load time from 90 seconds to 12 seconds.

Yes. This definitely needs to exist.

Agree. I need to replicate many DAX measures from one data set to another. is this possible in the meantime?

Simply being able to export and import custom measure and columns from a PBIX so you can copy them across PBIX files would be a win. Yes to this!
