Description

My Insomnia client auto-updated, and I ran into PR #1839 (Prompt for name when duplicating requests and folders)

For various reasons I will often make dozens of duplicates of a request, which receive minor edits to then kickoff multiple long running requests in parallel. It was very easy to do this in the past by simply right-click -Y duplicate. It didn't matter that it only appended a number the duplicates. in fact that was preferred.

PR #1839 makes it much more of pain to create duplicates. I can understand how some might find the new method convenient, but for me it is exactly the opposite.

Can you make the behaviour a configurable option, giving users the choice?

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the request and folder duplication flow and the existing prompt setting, then trace how application preferences are stored. Done means users can configure whether duplication prompts for a name while retaining the existing automatic naming behavior.
