Description

Feature request

Image

even without styling problems above

it's easy to miss the meaning of the choice in this duplication modal

would be better to have a choice you have to actively make before you can progress

two big buttons next to each other

DUPLICATE + duplicate tiles DUPLICATE + use existing tiles

Research direction

Start by locating the dashboard duplication flow and its modal in the PostHog frontend. Review the current duplication choices and the attached example, then make the two outcomes explicit as adjacent choices; done means users must actively choose between duplicating tiles and using existing tiles before continuing.
