Naming of Workflow backups

When saving a draft we are prompted for whether we require a backup and when this is selected the workflow name is prefixed with the text 'Copy of ' + workflow name

This naming is satisfactory for infrequent workflow updates, but we would prefer that the default backup name has a prefix of the current date and time instead of 'Copy of'.

For example: 2019-07-03 10:55 Software Delivery Workflow v1.0

The benefits are that we can easily see recent backups with in the Inactive Workflows list as the fixed order is by name.

Additionally, on the Publish Draft Workflow screen it would be useful to provide a summary of the reason for the change.

Hello,

It is not possible to change the default settings. You would need to do the changes manually for each copied workflow.

Real shame. 

It would be useful to have the 'Copy to' text as a property in the same way as for the jira.clone.prefix (default: 'CLONE - ') shown in advanced settings.
