Universal codex entries

It would be nice if you could “save” Codex entries universally and then “retrieve/import” them for a new story. So far, this has probably only been possible via the series function, but then you have to push back and forth cumbersome and confusing. It would be nice to have an extra “catalog” of Codex entries, which is available for every new story, and from which you can then import the appropriate entries. For example, you might want to use the same global entries as style and genre for several stories. For fan fiction, for example, it would be interesting to only have to make the character entries once. Etc.

You can do that now.
- Create a new project and name it template
- Create your codex
Now when you do a new book in the series, use the project named template as your template.

Shared Codex Data across the whole series is already supported.

If you want to share codex entries across a series of books, it is recommended NOT to use the approach by @Lemon Peafowl and instead place the entries you want to have in all the books on a series level:
- Make sure Book 1 is part of a series
- Either Create a new book 2, or change Book 2 to match the same series
- Go to book 1, and use the -three-dot-menu to move entries to "series" instead of "book" scope.
- the entries will no appear across ALL books in the series, even if you add a 3rd book later on.

Orchid Ant, this is already a working feature when creating a new novel from scratch, all you have to do is choose an existing novel title from the drop down menu of the TEMPLATE, then choose the Codex entries you want to extract from that existing novel.
However, when you already have an existing novel, and you somehow want to extract Codex entries from another series or several other series, that is not yet a feature implemented, as far as I know. I do want that feature.
