)The id of the old calculated metric
This is the name of the new calculated metric. If not provided, the prefix "Copy_" will be added to the existing name. (optional)

Adobe report suite ID (RSID). If an environment variable called
AW_REPORTSUITE_ID exists in .Renviron or elsewhere and no rsid argument
is provided, then the AW_REPORTSUITE_ID value will be used. Use aw_get_reportsuites()
to get a list of available rsid values.
Company ID. If an environment variable called AW_COMPANY_ID
exists in .Renviron or elsewhere and no company_id argument is provided,
then the AW_COMPANY_ID value will be used. Use get_me() to get a list of

If the "create_cm" argument is set to FALSE a list object definition will be returned. If the "create_cm" argument is set to TRUE and the calculated metric is valid it will return a data frame of the newly created calculated metric id along with some other basic meta data. If it returns an error then the error response will be returned to help understand what needs to be corrected.
