Cannot duplicate Component with an embedded Component Level Action Block

[yoohoomedia]

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

Attempting to Duplicate a component with a Component level Action block via the right-click contextual menu 'Duplicate Component' option has no effect.

If you you remove the Component Level block - the Duplicate works.
If you add a Component Level block - it no longer can be duplicated.

I don't believe there's a reason why Component Action Blocks should not be duplicated (they are private for that component).

Expected Behavior

A duplicate Component should appear with the suffix ' Copy' along with any Component level blocks.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new Project
2. Create a new Component
3. Add a Component Level Action Block called 'Test' with no inner action.
4. New, try and duplicate the Component via the left Widget Tree, right-click and choose Duplicate.

Component will not duplicate.

1. Remove the previously created Action Block called 'Test' and try the Duplicate again, and it will work.

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Context

Complex component duplication with essential Action Blocks cannot be reused as other components.

Ie: An editor template component with commonly used within the page Action Blocks cannot duplicate.

Hi @yoohoomedia - Thank you for bringing up the concern. The video provided above is not playing, and the bug report code for the project appears to be invalid. However, I've verified it in my test project, it appears to be that components can duplicate when an action block is linked at the component level. Are you still experiencing the issue? If so, kindly provide additional details to understand the issue. Much appreciated

Hi Hari,

Thanks for looking into this.

I can confirm that the Duplicate Component still fails (test on Brave Browser) - FlutterFlow Jan 15 release.

1. My test involves an empty component with a single Component Level Action Block with nothing it (and no reported errors).
2. Attempting to Duplicate this component result fails.

If I remove this single Component Level Action Block the Duplication works.

Hi @yoohoomedia - Thanks for the updated video. Can you please share valid bug report code ? above given bug report is not a valid one.

Hi Hari

Do you mean the bug report code points to an invalid project?

I've created a new project (and updated that with a component called "TryDuplicateMe".

Right-click on that component via the Widget Tree and try to Duplicate it via the contextual menu.

Hi @yoohoomedia - Thanks and I appreciate the additional details and the blank project you provided.
After further investigation, it seems that the issue is specific to your project, as I can create a new component and duplicate it successfully in the same project. I've marked it as a project-specific bug. If you have any more information or updates related to this issue, please feel free to share. Thank you!

FYI - I noticed the following console log error (Brave Browser):
