How to implement a multiple-criteria-mapping into a formula

Currently we only have a option to save card as template which is great. But there are many instances where I just need to duplicate a card/grid/etc and not need it saved as a template. Its cumbersome to have to either resetup the grid with specification or to create a template then use and delete it. Thanks!
