How to copy multi-state symbol

Our system has four state valves. When I assign a tag to a multi-state symbol, it shows 8 states. So I'm going through and configuring the valve symbol with the right colors and states.

Problem is when I copy the "well-configured" multi-state symbol and assign a new tag to it, all the state information is lost. E.G. it reverts to a normal valve symbol.

Can I save my own special valve configuration? Or do a special paste so I don't have to reconfigure all these steps?

Thanks!
