Copying items in the list view triples the number of items in a container. #770

TYPO3 14.3.6
container 4.1.0

For example, if you select all content elements on a page in list view, copy them to the clipboard, and then paste them into another page, all elements that were inside a container will be duplicated three times.
However, if you select only container elements in list view—without the child elements—and then copy them, the elements are copied correctly. The child elements are then automatically copied along with them.
So when selecting elements in the list view, you must make sure not to check any child elements of containers and copy them along with the container.

Therefore, you cannot simply say, “Copy all elements” on a page.
As a workaround, you can display an additional column called tx_container_parent. Then, select only the elements for which this column is empty. The child elements will then be copied automatically.
