Duplicating an object such that original object is not affected when duplicate object is changed.

Certified Associate Developer

When I duplicate certain objects from Application A to Application B (that is, I moved them from A to B, by selecting the "Move to App" option), it doesn't create a separate object but just pastes a reference of original object, as when I try to make changes to my original object my duplicate object also gets changed. Can I get a solution to this problem, such that the duplicate object will not get affected by the changes made to the original object?

    Creating a new Object will do that .I saw your recent post why you want to import the already existing application. Can't you plan development and testing subsequently??. Appian creates a "UUID"  for each object ( UUID is unique to all environments till its life-cycle.) That means when you import  it's just gonna replace old application object . I suggest either you plan your Development and testing sprints properly or you need to duplicate whole application.
