When duplicating a project, Followers should carry over as well

We have several templates set up.

Within these templates I've set dependencies, assigned tasks, attached documents, added descriptions etc ... and they all copy across into the new project.  I've also added followers to specific tasks.  I've just discovered that those do not copy across to the new project.

I reached out to Support and this was confirmed.  It was suggested that I simply make those followers another assignee to the task.  However, the specific tasks I'm working with are assigned to our customers list of tasks (meaning, and outside 3rd party collaborator).  We have a hard enough time getting our customers to participate in using Wrike as it is, and I don't want to confuse the issue with having one of our company employees show up as an assignee to that same task.  Following is the perfect solution - this way our employees are notified when a customer has changed or completed their task (which then directly relates to one of their tasks within the project).

It was recommended by Support to just add them to followers to the entire Project - however, any given project has 200+ tasks within and most of the employees are responsible for 3-5 tasks only.  That would be an unbearable amount of notifications to work around this issue.   

However the flip side, is that I then need to go through each one when duplicating and manually add followers to each appropriate task because those pre-sets aren't copied over.

There are several check boxes when duplicating a project - why can't this be one of those check boxes?

Thank you.
