Here's a pic of the option now, after the 2016 revision:

How about a Duplicate button

How about a Duplicate button -- so after I put together some data and a calculation, and get a line on a graph, I can hit Duplicate to put a second line on the graph based on the same data and the same calculation. Then I could revise the second line as needed, rather than recreating it from scratch.
