Bug Report Duplicating Scenes

Hello.
I was duplicating some Scenes and I realized that after duplicating a scene, when you edit the source that is the same in both Scenes, it changes for both scenes instead of just the one.

Step by Step recreation:
Create Scene
Create Source
Duplicated Scene
Edit Source in either original scene, or duplicate.
Both will change, regardless of which is edited.

If this is an intended feature, I apologize. I feel like it is a bug.
Also, if this is in the wrong area, I apologize.

He, like me, could be trying to have a duplicate scene that's the exact same layout, EXCEPT different logos, different background, different text, but all the in EXACT same placement/position as the other scene. So the easiest thing to do would be to duplicate a scene, and just make the slight alterations to text, image-file location, etc.

Is this possible?

As far as I know, no. You would need to create new sources for the new items in the scene. I suppose you could do this through editing the configuration files but that's also a great way to break stuff if you don't know what you're doing.

What you could do, though, is duplicate the entire scene collection, and then adjust the sources in the duplicate. That's probably a smarter thing to do rather than having a big pile of sources in the same scene collection, and unless you need to do scene transitions between the different layouts it ought to solve the problem.

By current changes in code, the next build of the OBS Studio will allow to you to copy single(!) source (Ctrl+ C) and paste it as new source only via right mouse click-> Paste (Duplicate). It's not easy if you have 10-15 on screen elements (sources) but better than nothing.

The current best solution to this would be to add everything that would be static in all your scenes to a scene by itself, called say "Layout"

This scene can then be added as a source to any other scenes it's needed in.

Also, when duplicating a source, the transforms are scene-specific, so moving it in one scene/scaling it will not affect it in another scene. Only filters will apply globally to that source.

Lastly, you're on an old version of Studio, and should update.
