A subject that was brought up recently was the ability to save a filled-in
reference as a different (new) reference and then make small changes to it
specific to the new (but very similar) reference.  Although most Mac software
has this rather generic capability, as far as I am aware, there is no way to do
this with current versions of Endnote.  The closest I have come is copying and
pasting between similar entries, which is much more time consuming (barely
faster than entering from scratch for me).

I would like to officially suggest this for the wish list of improvements
offered in future versions.  The ability to do this would be a tremendous time
save to many users who like myself enter 1 or more references at a time from the
same journal, with the only differences between entries being page numbers,
title and authors.

This doesn't seem quite true to me. The generic capability which most Mac
software has is to be able to make templates/stationery _documents_. A
reference is not a document; it is a small part of a document. It is like a
single record in a database, where it is the database which is on the
document level.
