The copy resets the status by design.
Copying an issue is just like creating a new one. That's why the copy is created with the default status.
If you copy a closed issue, do you really want the copy to be created as closed ?

"If you copy a closed issue, do you really want the copy to be created as closed ?"
No, you are right. It doesn't male sense. But, otherwise, if the status is assigned (to a particular developer), it helps if the copied issue is assigned too to the same developer (that was what I was looking for).
Nonetheless, it doesn't take much to change the status to Assign by hand.
Thanks.
