How do I clone an epic and all stories within the epic to a new epic?

Question

Without using any add-ons or custom coding, is there a way through "Project Automation" that we can clone an epic that has 20 stories in it to a new epic with the same 20 stories cloned?

I am able to clone the epic and it creates a new epic, but the stories get cloned in the original epic not the new epic.

Currently, we have to instead create an epic with sub-tasks, clone the epic with the sub-tasks and then use the move function to move the sub-tasks to stories.  This should be an obvious feature for agile development software.
