Copy students from existing students table to new students table

Feature Proposal

Description of feature/enhancement

Adding a feature copy students in the course enroll page that would allows instructors to easily import existing students table into new students table for easier mass edits.

Justification

For instructors who want to batch edit many students, they would have to copy and paste the whole sheet from existing students manually. The slightly clunky cell selection in the sheet would make it sometimes hard to select all students, especially if there are many students.
Therefore, I would suggest the addition of a button to auto-import existing students into the new students sheet below. This would be a QOL change and also helps when instructors want to mass-edit students.

Thanks for suggesting this @NeoHW
Personally, I'm not fully convinced that this feature is worth the cost of maintenance. While it is can be useful at times, I think the cost/benefit gain is borderline. Select-copy-paste is a simple manual operation that everyone is familiar with, and it also gives the user the flexibility to select which rows/columns to select.
Other opinions welcome. In the meantime, let's put this on hold, until we've decided one way or other. The PR you sent can be counted as a contribution nevertheless.

Hi. I am a student from Australian National University working on a group assignment to select and contribute to the OSS project, can I have a try to this issue though I noticed it may not so valuable, but I think this is a chance to get familiar with the project without disturbing others.
