Create a 'clean' release template from an existing release - that other products can also use

Have the ability to create a clean (non populated) release template from a current release. And that this new release template is then visible in the drop down list in the 'release phase template' section when creating a new release. This would then enable other users/products to be able to use / pick up this new template. The current process of cloning an existing release is time consuming as you have to then edit the new release - deleting the features that have carried over, changing dates, status etc whereas starting with a blank template is much easier to navigate, especially where you have multiple product managers who are all currently doing this workaround.
