Basically I just want the text fields in the Submit New Item form (Step 2) prepopulated, rather than copy/pasting everything about an essentially duplicate entry where only minor adjustments are needed for the regional variant like title, rating, release date, etc. Ideally this would be implemented by allowing the search on the Submit New Item form (Step 1) to return results that are a partial title match but not a platform match (maybe include a broaden search checkbox so not to piss people off), and then having a link under or next to each item that says something along the lines of Add something like this, which, when clicked, would continue to the form (Step 2) as normal, but it would be prepopulated with the selected item's data rather than being empty, allowing you to make the minor changes more quickly. *welcomes automation*
