Copying assignments from shared shells

I have some teachers trying to import quizzes from one course to another. After the initial import, they removed a subset of questions, changed the title/due date, etc, and then gave the quiz. Later, they wanted to import the same assignment to give a second set of questions. However, the second import overwrote all the changes for quiz 1.

Canvas shows the warning that importing the same item will replace any previous imports, so obviously this isn't a good method for - essentially - duplicating quizzes. 

Is there a reliable method for accomplishing this? They have a shared course shell which houses their master quizzes and they'd like to be able to pull, modify, and then pull again. I think the answer is "no, create individual quizzes in the shared course," but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
