Is your feature request related to a problem?
When having a realistically sized supermarket (seen in Figure 1) you will have many trading machines.
These trading machines might want to be owned by a team and have settings configured. Currentlly these settings have to be configured one by one for each tradding machine manually - which is fine in a small store but not in a large supermarket.
Describe the solution you'd like
All sub pages in the "Trader Settings" (excluding trades) menu should get a copy/paste button.
When the copy button is pressed all details (from every settings pages) will be stored in a "clipboard".
The paste button will become enabled. WHen another trading machine is opend the paste button can be used to update the settings to what is stored in the clipboard.
In some cases a player may want to copy / paste trades too, but these should be in a seperate clipboard then the Trader Settings.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Having an admin only command to copy / paste, but then none-admin players will get upset. Maybe make this configurable? ... but a GUI option will be prefered as it is more consitant with the rest of the mod.
Additional context
This was mentioned at some point, and one suggestion that seems like it could/would work would be to make it possible to copy the data onto a writable item (writable/written book, creates clipboard, etc.) and be able to paste the data from that.
This seems like a reasonable way to do this as it allows players the freedom to copy/paste settings more easily, as well as making it easier to keep track of your "clipboard" and make it reasonable feasible to have multiple copies of the data.
I will note that for security purposes some settings won't be able to be copy/pasted unless your an admin, namely any settings that are strictly admin-only in the first place as well as a few outliers such as the Bank Account link.

Maybe you could have a separate admin only clipboard item? This item will not be craft-able and only appear in the creative menu.
This will be simple to use since it will be nearly the same as none-admin clipboard. It would also give the admin a choice on what settings they want to copy.
