What is the current way to copy a reminder

Question

I have a manual bill to the same payee 4 times a year. The first payment is one amount and the remaining 3 payments are a different amount. What I'm seeing is create two manual bills from scratch. Would be nice to use the first manual bill as a template for the second.

If you already have an existing register transaction that you want to create a reminder from, just right-click the transaction, click "Add reminder".

In the reminder dialog set the next due date, interval and [xx] for "Remind me [xx] days in advance" or "Auto enter [xx] days in advance"

Rinse and repeat to create the other three reminders, making sure to give every reminder a distinct Payee Name, e.g., "John Doe {March}", "John Doe {May}", etc.

Sorry, but i don't  know of anyway to copy a reminder as you want to do. But, it's not like there's that much  data entry to create the 1st iteration of payments 2-4.

What's probably the easiest thing to do, if there's any regular schedule to the 4 payments, is to ignore that the 1st is for a different amount and set it up for 1 payment 4 times a year … and then in the memo field input the correct info for the 1st yearly payment,

This does assume that payments 2-4 are for the same amount.
