The Copy Service Request feature is an enhancement in the existing process of Service Request creation. The copy service request feature allows users to create a new service request with the Catalog details of existing service requests.  

The feature helps to reduce the time and effort required to create a new SR with the same catalog details. It also helps to track and report multiple SRs created for a single catalog.
