When duplicating a page, all blocks with their texts are also copied. However, the text of the duplicated page appears as a preview (in the layoutbuilder) on the original content if you have modified it.
Steps to reproduce
- Duplicate a Page.
- Change text from druplicated textblock.
- Go to the original page and look in the preview.
- you can now see the modified text from the duplicated page.
Proposed resolution
When duplicating a page, the content must be independently customizable.
Original page should not be the same as copied page.

cilefen commentedCan you please explain step one: "duplicate a page"? Is that by using a module like entity clone or by some other method?
Comment #3
larowlanThis is most definitely a bug in whatever you're using to duplicate

sandro_pagliara commentedWe use the "Quick node Clone" module for duplicating.
Steps to reproduce:
- I duplicated a page with the "Quick node Clone"-Module.
- On the new "Clone" page, I changed and saved the text in the text element.
- On the original page, my initial text is still displayed. However, If I open the text element in Layout Builder, the text content from the duplicated page is shown, leading to the divergent content display as shown in my screenshot.

cilefen commentedIs this a duplicate of #3100117: Inline blocks from layout builder not cloned properly?
Comment #8
sandro_pagliara commentedUnfortunately the patch from the other issue didn't help.
As a result of the patch, all elements from the duplicated page have disappeared (see image).
The problem in the patch is different. In our case, you can edit the blocks.

remoschneider commentedAre there any new developments on this? We still have this problem with Drupal 10.3.1
