Copy-paste for dynamic attributes #765

Would be handy.

BTW do note that DynamicComponent is kind of(*) deprecated by -- tadaa! -- static components! I mean the new custom component system that Lasse / Ludo made in spring. Defining normal comps from JS.

One benefit of such normal components is that they work normally in the editor, the attrs are readily there etc.

(*)kind of deprecated with the note that sure can be that DCs will also be useful in some case where you actually need the dynamicity -- but I bet in almost all cases what you want is actually just a script-defined static component

@antont The new stuff is based on DC. Not literally inheriting the class but it uses the same mechanisms of IComponent::IsDynamic() etc. So if this gets implemented using those IComponent properties it will work for both new and old.

DC is not going anywhere either way :) Its very hand to put data in there if you dont have a very structured multi-attribute component.

Edit: The new stuff essentially sends a DC over the network with a associated name and "stamps it out" as a static one, once its declared by the server (can be client initiated too afaik).
