 * Hi! Earlier I had a “Duplicate” button on the CPT “elementor_library” – But this
   duplicate button (added by ASE earlier) is not there anymore?
   Is it possible 
   to get it back? it’s really useful. The duplicate button is there and works fine
   for other post-types, like Pages.Screenshot from ‘table version’ of the Elementor
   Theme Builder:[https://imgur.com/a/hQC092V](https://imgur.com/a/hQC092V)

 * [@ingarb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ingarb/) this has been removed 
   in a previous release as I’m not sure whether Elementor stores data outside of
   wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables for their elementor_library CPT, especially for
   complex templates. I suggest asking Elementor to provide native duplication feature
   like how WooCommerce has it for [their products](https://woocommerce.com/document/managing-products/duplicate-or-delete-product/)
   CPT.
 * That said, have you ever had any issue when duplicating Elementor templates? 
   Even complex ones?

 * Thanks for the quick reply! It always worked 100% for me.
 * Never any issues, that’s why I liked it 🙂
   Right now, I have a Theme builder 
   template I want to copy – but it is too complex for the Elementor Export/Import
   template function.. But your copy function always worked great..

 * [@ingarb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ingarb/) good to know. I might 
   bring it back for elementor_library in the future if I’m sure that it only stores
   data in wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables and nowehere else. Do you mind confirming
   that with Elementor support?
