[FEATURE] Native Copy Function for Resources

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When trying to duplicate or clone an SAP BTP subaccount using Terraform, the current workflow requires exporting the subaccount and then manually editing the configuration — including renaming resources, changing IDs, and adjusting references. After that, the modified configuration can be used to recreate the “copied” subaccount via Terraform.
I don’t think there’s currently a native copy function that allows users to easily replicate a subaccount with adjusted identifiers.

Describe the solution you would like

I would like to see a native copy or clone function in the Terraform exporter that simplifies the process of duplicating an existing SAP BTP subaccount.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Manually editing exported Terraform files (renaming resources, changing IDs).

Additional context

This feature would be especially useful in scenarios like:
- Creating sandbox environments based on production setups
- Replicating subaccounts for testing or training purposes
- Accelerating onboarding of new teams or projects

@EliasB17 thanks for the feature request. The Terraform Exporter for SAP BTP is intended to ease the import of existing subaccount. Cloning existing subaccounts as described is out of scope of this tool and should be solved by other means voa Terraform/OpenTofu when used in an enterprise setup.

This feature is out of scope for the Terraform Exporter and will not be implemented.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand that this functionality is not within the intended scope of the exporter.
