Copy a *PGM object

I would like to copy a program object to a different library, but maintain the change/usage information.
I don't really have any change management software... so I typically put new objects in a "PTF" library that is before the production library. Once all is OK, I move it to the production library. Sometimes the object is in use and I can't "move" it, but I can copy it.

Change/Usage information:
Change date/time . . . . . . . . . . : 04/11/21 01:18:31
Usage data collected . . . . . . . . : YES
Last used date . . . . . . . . . . . : 04/29/21
Days used count . . . . . . . . . . : 14
Reset date . . . . . . . . . . . . :
Allow change by program . . . . . . : YES

If I use copy or CRTDUPOBJ these are reset.
If I MOVE the object using Work with Objects in PDM, it seems to retain them.

I'm also open to any other suggestions.
TIA
