Hi guys,

this might be a rumble one - I mean to describe (for a non-native English speaking person as me):

When you select an item (or page) and duplicate it, the previously “Parent” item (or page) remains as the selection. Wouldn’t it be better to make the duplicated “Child” as the new/default selected item (page)?

I often forgot to select the new duplicate and “adjust and change” the parent-element accidentally instead.

What do you think?

Cheers

Thomas

@Thomas I’d never really noticed this but it is a valid point in my opinion.
