P: Time stamp change - replace image with new one

I use Lightroom for stock keeping and recording of stock of an archive.

There are times when I replace an older image with a new one.

I often change the time stamp to match the previous image but one second earlier and then I delete the original image. After that I need to change the file names to make it seamless.

Can I request that there is an option to replace and clone an old image with a new one cloning-the-metatdata.

So I will take a new photo with an updated condition image of an object and with one click it will:

A) copy time and date of capture

B) copy ALL metadata of ALL fields

C) delete old image

D) move new image to folder location of the old image

E) place it in all the same collections etc

So in summary it will use the new photogarph but clone everything else in terms of data.

I'm happy to discuss in more detail and share my experience with programmers - I manage almost 1 million images accross two catalogues over 15 years.

Thank you
