Bug Description

Duplicating databases does not make new databases but keeps the same database’s linked. Simply put when you duplicate a “Page” that has a “Grid” then change anything on it those changes will also change the “Grid” that you just duplicated from. Current work around is deleting all databases and having to make new ones from scratch. As there is no current way to change the default template if you have complex or a large amount of items you are wasting so much time having to rebuild everything.

How to Reproduce

Make a "Page" then make a "Grids”, “Board”, and/or “Calendar” change the Title and make some sort of change inside the database. After that duplicate the "Page" with the database and its name will say "Copy" but the databases are still linked to the original.

Expected Behavior

When duplicating the "Page" with the database when the "- Copy" is added to the "Page" the databases also get a "- Copy" and they are no longer linked to the original database and are now a new database.

Operating System

Windows and Linux

AppFlowy Version(s)
