New Feature Request - Copy Data from one profile to another within Edge

Is it possible to request new features for Edge Chromium? I would like to submit the ability to copy data from one profile to another within Edge Chromium.   I think it can be done manually by copy...

Thanks - what I did notice yesterday after copying the profile directories over from beta to dev is that although the profiles don't show up when I select the user badge in the top right of the browser, if I click the new profile, a new profile is created but the settings (most noticeably the favourites toolbar) but also the last opened web pages shows up populated from the profile data that was copied over.

The names of the profile show up as Profile 5 and need to be renamed.

This does get me through some of the pain of creating profiles again, but with 40 of them name Profile 5...40 it's not the best user experience.
