Hi Bertwim, I’m a user and not a developer and I want to answer your request from a users perspective. I’m using the duplicate-feature in a different way: I’m always exporting one of the duplicates and I’m expecting, that it does not matter which copy I have exported. Hence, the current behavior is perfectly right for me.
But your problem can simply be solved by using the right variable substitution in input field „target storage - file on disk“. Using $(VERSION) as part of the filename should resolve your problem.
