Ha ha… Am I the only one using this duplicate feature among our power users ? 🤷🏻♂️🥴 > I'd vote for ItemLink option where cascade might be extended or a new option added based on the global "clone item" toggle in admin - we can hide that option unless cloning is allowed. > I trust you know better than me what and where this should be done easily. Technically I would say “ItemLink option where cascade might be extended” is better and more controllable (not global). I vote for this. I fear that this will borrow a little more this side effect of the duplicate item feature but I will add text to tooltips and documentations.
