Description
user exmateriae suggests:
It could be interesting to allow to copy from a closed or even resolved question in some cases. For instance on inflation or employment sometimes several new questions are opened and all the old ones are closed and can't be copied from.
this actually gets worse, I tried to "copy from" on Dec on this question and it did this: (yes the very small dot under the copy button)
The question I linked was one of the cases where I could only copy from an active question.
The source of this issue needs to be chased down.
Possible solution would be to forgo current copying methodology in favor of universally applying: #3857
