Showcase now has the ability to copy an existing item and create a new item based on data from that copy.
This is a permissions based function. There are 2 permissions, one pertaining to allowing Item Owners to copy their own items and a Moderator permission allowing Moderators to copy any item.

If the viewing user has the appropriate permissions (edit and copy), then they will see a [Copy item] button in the button row as shown below.

Note: There is also a link in the More options...

Clicking on the button (or link) will take the viewing user to the Copy item - "[Title of Source Item]" form, which should look familiar as its mostly identical to the create item form.
Inputs will be pre-filled in with data from the Source Item with the exception of the TITLE field and Attachments.
Attachments need to be uploaded just like when creating a new item.
All the viewing user needs to do is add a TITLE, upload attachments and make whatever updates to any of the inputs and then choose the same available SAVE options as you do when initially creating a new item.
Note: The SOURCE ITEM is not affected in any way shape or form (there are no save operations on the source entity).
