Description
I am unable to copy a file with read-only permissions so I can modify it under a different context. It appears the the "clone" button only shows up when the "update file" button does.
My current work-around is to copy the contents of the read-only file, then create a new file with the same file name for my desired context and paste the contents into that, which is a little cumbersome and error-prone if you mistype the file name.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a read-only file and compare when the "clone" and "update file" buttons appear. Trace the file action entry point in the JavaScript application; done means a read-only file can be cloned into a new file and the existing filename and content workflow is no longer required.
