Cloning pages without Parent

Hi all, 

 

Is there a way to "clone" content on pages in indesign (without copy/pasting) that already have different parent pages applied to them?

 

I currently have a document with sections using parent pages as the headers etc, but I want the content on pg 8 (parent A), pg 32 (parent B), pg 44 (parent C), and pg 78 (parent D), etc all to be the same. If I change a small detail on pg 8 I have to copy and paste multiple times on the other pages & cant use a parent page bc I already need & have parents applied to them. Trying to streamline the copy/paste multiple times issue. 

 

Thanks

Make a new parent/master base on that master, override the item you want to remove, delete it and apply the new master to those pages you want to apply it.
