If you can use SPD, then why not SharePoint Designer Workflow ??, in the Sharepoint Designer Workflow you can make use of "Copy List Item" under Actions to fullfil your requirement.

For grasping idea follow the below code,

is there any reason why custom coding is not allowed? well if the reason is you dont have a permission in your farm but given that you are a site collection admin you can consider using SPListItem Copy. This is free of use and is currently in sandboxed solution then you can just upload directly in your solution gallery and just activate the features.

  • this is already in a wsp format so you just need upload in the solution gallery. 1. Download the file. 2. Upload in your solution gallery. 3. Activate the feature. 4. enjoy the copy list item functionality :) Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 10:52

  • What if your development machine is not running Windows Server, making it so that custom coding is impossible seeing as how SharePoint doesn't run on standard Windows environments, and you don't want to set up a standalone server or a virtual machine just for SharePoint development because that's incredibly STUPID???
