(LyX 2.4.0-alpha3 on windows 10)
If I copy text containing a label (e.g. of an equation) and paste
into a (yellow) Note, the label is pasted unchanged. There is no
warning message about the label being changed to label-1. The label
in the Note can be referenced from within the Note or from within
another Note, but not from the text which gives a BROKEN Ref
message. I've just tried with LyX 2.3.5, and this is a regression.

I can reproduce. I guess a question is what would be the best thing
to do here. What is the exact issue with how it is in LyX 2.4.0dev?
What would be a better way? Renaming? Showing as "Duplicate"? What is
your use case?
That the reference is marked as BROKEN when referenced from outside
of the Note seems right, or?
Daniel
Looking at how labels are used in notes and branches across 2.3.5 and
2.4.0dev, I can see that this can get complicated. The 2.3.5
behaviour (renaming) seems clearest to me (and a little pedantic).
Andrew
I have never used branches, so pardon my ignorance. But isn't it there
where being able to use duplicates might come in handy? Couldn't you
have two branches with the same labels that are referenced outside of
the branches? But as I said, I am not using branches, so maybe that is
not a good use case.
Daniel
Another alternative would be to ask the user in such situations whether
a rename should be done or a duplicate be created.
