[Events 2.0] Ability to Copy Event Invitations to a Different Type of Event Email

Why isn't there a way to duplicate an existing invitation in Events 2.0 and send it to non-responders? I can send an email to non-responders, but I have to create a new email for it. I just spent 20 minutes re-creating an invitation I'd already worked on just so I could send the exact same email to contacts who hadn't responded to the first one. Is there a workaround I'm missing? I was hoping I could at least get around this by creating a segment for contacts who had not clicked on a link in my previous invitation, but this functionality isn't available for event emails.

We're updating the status of this idea to more accurately reflect its current status with our engineering team, and also made slight changes to the subject line in order for it to be more easily found. We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request, but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release.

I should be able to copy a previously used email to re-send to non-registered contacts within an event.  This used to be a feature in Legacy Events, but appears to have been left off of the new format.  I should not have to manually recreate an email in order to contact non-registered contacts...nobody has time for that.

PLEASE let me copy an existing email for an event, and send it to non-responders!  I used to be able to do this in the old events platform, but now, in the new events platform, in order to send an email to non-responders, I have to start a new email from scratch (even though I've already created a perfect email invitation, which I just want to re-send to non-responders)!  I am wasting SO MUCH TIME doing this!  PLEASE change this!!!!!!

P.S.: This also applies to creating reminder emails to event registrants.  I should be able to copy an email that already exists within the event, and edit it and send it to registrants, instead of needing to create it from scratch!
