Description

When duplicating a project in the "View All" view of my projects, the new project doesn't appear to be saved to the cloud.

Steps:

  1. From the My Projects list on home screen, go to "View All"
  2. Select a project and click Duplicate.
  3. Notice it's cloud status shows as an asterisk, meaning it has local changes, and that this doesn't change. It looks like it just isn't being saved to the cloud.

Expected: The UI would reflect that the duplicated project was saved to cloud.

Note: Refreshing the page shows that the project was in fact saved to cloud, so this is seems like a UI issue.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the My Projects home screen by opening View All and duplicating a project. Inspect the cloud-status UI update after duplication; done means the duplicate visibly changes from the asterisk/local-changes state to saved without requiring a page refresh.
