--------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for copying one appender to another.
                 Key: LOG4J2-2944
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2944
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 2.13.3, 2.14.0
            Reporter: Srinivas


* Currently the copying of one appender to another in the log4j.properties file is not supported.
 * One can copy the properties by referencing them like so 
 ${log4j.appender.INFOLOGGER}
 * However each property will have to be referenced like so and copied to the corresponding one in the new appender.
 * We need to have a operation like so: log4j.appender.newone = ^log4j.appender.oldone which copies all existing properties of the old appender.
