The only way you could "clone" it would be to create a new application, and then use the same configuration data file from the old app for the new. You'd have to change things like the reportToCloud URL and refreshURL, and maybe any other parts that are different, but it's one method you could use. No clone button, unfortunately!

I guess if you poke around the database that holds all the app you might be able to figure something out, but the easiest way would be to just create a base app and reuse an existing configuration file.

Make sure your configuration data URL points to the "cloned" JSON file that you tweak to make the new app. You won't be able to point to the default config file.
