One of the features I used quite frequently on macOS was copying an event and pasting into another day. Made it easy to create events for my son's practices or games that duplicated but not enough to create a repeating event. So I would always jump on my iMac 27" to create these events. I sold my iMac so it was an important feature I missed.

Unless it was added in later versions of iPadOS 18 (I have no way to check now), 26 at least allows it now as well. You can "copy" and then "Paste event here" and it respects the location of the cursor for the time! So if the event is at 1PM on Tuesday, I can just quickly paste at 2PM on Thursday! I will be using this feature quite a bit now!
 
Thanks for the update. Copy and paste isn’t available in iPadOS 18 (if it is, it’s so well hidden that I can’t find it)!

You can go to the edit mode and duplicate an event, which shows up on the same date, where you must drag or edit it to a new date. What you describe in iPadOS 26 should be much quicker.
