Description
When choosing a period among the copy options, many are greyed out on the questions which have been started years ago (like the fed rate for instance)
Imo, the best would be to choose one way or the other: either we should only see the open options or we should be able to copy components from closed/resolved questions. I would personally prefer the latter as it gives more possibilities.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the copy-options flow on an older question such as the fed rate example, then locate the code that determines which periods are greyed out. Decide whether closed or resolved questions should remain selectable or whether unavailable options should be hidden, and verify that the chosen behavior works consistently for started older questions.
