Dynamic Menus, Copying functions?

Hi All,
If this has been answered elsewhere already, you can simply direct me to that thread, unfortunately at the moment I don't have time to do a thorough search.

I'm building a dynamic component master file that will control our color options on our playground equipment. Previously I've had a single that controlled all our available options for both our Steel playgrounds and Recycled Plastics playgrounds, But now we have them coming out of 2 different factories with completely different color pallets... With the exception of Custom Themed playgrounds which is my area.

With that in mind, I need to create 3 unique masters, one for steel, one for recycled and one for custom (to allow colors from both pallets).

I've handled colors by having Custom Attributes labled for each possible option (Metals, Posts, Plastics, etc) Each of these is then assigned a drop down menu of material colors for that option, which sends that down to each sub assembly.

For the sake of speed, I'd like to know if there is a way to simply copy an attribute with all it's colors to be able to reassign it to a different that uses the same materials (Metals and Posts, PanelSolid/PanelAccent, Etc). or am I simply stuck with manually filling in each line for every option imaginable?

I'm using 2017 on PC
