Problem/Motivation

With nesting, sometimes complex constructions of paragraphs should be cloned to create multiple similar elements.

Currently, a user needs to rebuild the structure with clicking "Add XYZ" multiple times.

Proposed resolution

Every paragraph level should offer an action "Duplicate" that duplicates the paragraph itself and its children.

Remaining tasks

#2829316: Implement "duplicate paragraphs" feature
#2909416: Hide duplicate action while translating

User interface changes

Duplicate action in Paragraphs widget, right alinged.

API changes

Data model changes

We need extensive test coverage that verifies cloning works with multiple levels of nesting and that new IDs result and instances are not mixed up at all.

One question is always coming up - how much is this related with the replication UI module? We should check combined and make sure we are not creating double duplicate entries ever.

We are not backporting anything. D8 is way advanced and backporting anything would slow down our progress. Instead you should upgrade. :-)
