Clone MDA Objects
How do we Clone an object within the MDA?
Best answer by darkknight
AFAIK there is no clone option. Fastest way I can think of is probably to run a report containing all non-GS headers in the object you want to duplicate then export it and use csv to create the new object. That is probably a good option when you have a lot of columns....but it wouldn’t work for calculated fields.
If just a handful may be faster just to manually create the fields.

+1@Jeff, Thanks for the workaround!
@Johnny, Yes,that's only one workaround we have for now.
I understood the pain in creating the new objects and fields. Definitely a good ask, will save lots of time.

Yeah, this would be hugely helpful since I can't create a data space with MDA objects, and I need to combine two massive sets of data
