Duplicate without content

If I want to duplicate a “content/text” block, for example, but it’s empty, can I use “Duplicate Without Content”?
Is that the correct way to do it?
I’m not sure because when I use this command, it has the same effect as “Duplicate”! It copies the block but with its contents.
That’s not a bug, is it?!

When you “Duplicate without Content” it should only take the top level component, like this…

If I understand correctly,

I cannot use this command for a block/text below in your example?

If you duplicate a text Component it will include the actual text content. The “Duplicate without Content” is meant for components, perhaps we need to update the name to avoid confusion :thinking:

Or maybe have it only available on components? Alternatively, possibly dynamically change output based on selection: i.e. current functionality on components, things like a text box duplicate with no text and the focus in the text box, ready to start typing. I could see that getting confusing as one command has different outcomes…
