Umbraco Workflow - new versions always created from scratch? No way to copy paste fields

We are evaluating Umbraco Workflow.

Within the concept of “Versions”, one would click themself to the Versions tab and start creating a new version.
At this point you have a blank slate and no way to copy/paste all existing fields in your main node.

If your node already has 50+ pre-filled content fields, as an editor it’s a tedious experience to have to redo all fields. Imagine all SEO/meta fields, other static data fields etc.

Is this expected or could this be a regression/bug perhaps? It seems like a no-brainer for us but we might also be missing something concept-wise here.
