Image field - clone image to other image field

[Peter Knight]

Idea: A way to push/pull or simply copy an image from Images field 01 to Images field 02 (or vice versa).

I primarily need this for two image fields on the same page but I imagine some would find it useful for 2 images fields on different pages.

Use Case

Client has a general images field on every page of their site with all the images they need.

We now need to create a second images field dedicated to a particular type of image.

This image is based on an image already in the first images field. 

Being able to push/pull/copy would save them a heap or re-uploading etc

 

I understand the flexibility of image tagging, croppingm using first() etc etc but we genuinley need a second images field and for it to be quicker (than re-uploading) to duplicate an image into this second field.

Does this need to happen in the admin?

If it would be acceptable to have a "mover page" as a frontend form it shouldn't be too complicated to implement that via the API.

The "Copy Content to Other Field" action in Admin Actions could do this, although currently it does it for all pages of the selected template, but wouldn't be difficult to modify to add an additional page selector:

A different approach that has already been discussed would be an image reference field: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:processwire.com+image+reference+field

It's primarily for a content editor so admin would be best.
