Copy View Layer
For me, the main difference between 2.7x and 2.8x is the Eevee and the collection. It's great to have no frame in 20 collections. To be free to create many collections. Give them names.
But excuse me! It's not possible to create a copy of View Layer? How so? When creating a new View Layer, you must re-tag all necessary render-passes. Note the impact on the rendering of all collections.
This is not how it should work! It is extremely uncomfortable!
It is convenient to make a new ViewLayer from a copy of an already configured one. This is how it should work.
We now have more settings before rendering starts. We need to check more checkboxes in more places on the interface. It should be possible to copy render-passes and collection visibility settings.

Collections management system have a lot of issues including this. This one was already reported many times.
Such ability have troubles and inconsistencies on API level, so ability to clone View layer was not supposed by design. Also some RTOs, like visibility and renderability are not stored in View Layer, so you will not get the ability to clone complete scene setup even if you will get the ability to clone a View Layer.
